Role and responsibilities

- Coordinate with the design and estimation teams to prepare suitable proposals.
- Present and explain the proposal, BOQ, specifications, inclusions, exclusions, payment terms and project process before sharing the final quotation.
- Follow up with customers systematically and identify the actual reason behind delays in decision-making.
- Handle objections related to price, materials, scope, timelines and competing quotations.
- Negotiate commercially while protecting company margins and avoiding unauthorised discounts, free scope or unrealistic commitments.
- Convert qualified leads into bookings and collect the prescribed onboarding amount.
- Maintain accurate lead stages, next-action dates, customer requirements and meeting notes in the CRM.
- Prepare a dependable weekly sales forecast covering likely bookings, pending decisions, risks and required actions.
- Personally handle high-value enquiries,



difficult negotiations and opportunities where managerial involvement is required.
- Guide and coach the existing Sales Associate to improve qualification, communication, follow-up discipline and conversion.
- Ensure that confirmed scope, commercial terms and customer commitments are correctly handed over to the design and execution teams.
