> This is a systems-and-numbers role. Ideal for a data-driven, process-minded marketer who builds lead funnels, CRM pipelines, automated journeys and dashboards. It is NOT a social media or content creation role — that is handled by our Digital Content & Brand Executive.

About JNB Bearings & this role

JNB Bearings Pvt Ltd imports bearings and markets them under our own registered brand, J&B;. Together with Jain Bearing Centre (since 2008, branches in Chennai, Bellary and Rajahmundry), we supply crushers, rice mills, cement plants, engineering workshops, automobile sectors, dealers and OEMs across Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Maharashtra. Website: www.jnbbearings.com We are building a two-person marketing team on the Zoho platform. Your partner, the Digital Content & Brand Executive, creates the attention; you capture, qualify, nurture, hand over and measure it — from first click to repeat order.

Ownership boundary — who does what

With only two people in marketing, every activity has one clear owner. Owner = accountable for the result; Support = provides input.

Industry learning — the B2B buyer journey

Industrial buyers do not click "buy now"; they enquire, compare, ask for quotes and reorder. To automate that journey you must first understand it. You will:

- Learn bearing types and applications, and the segments we serve (crusher, rice mill, dealer, workshop, OEM).
- Map JNB's full sales process from enquiry to repeat order.
- Sit with sales and field executives to learn territory priorities and what makes a lead genuine.
- Join dealer meetings and exhibitions to see how buyers decide.

Lead definitions & sales SLA

A Qualified B2B Lead has a genuine business requirement and, as a minimum: contact name · company name · mobile number · location · industry / segment · customer type (end user, dealer, OEM, workshop) · product or bearing requirement (bearing number / application where available) · quantity where available · lead source. Lead lifecycle: Enquiry → Marketing Qualified Lead (MQL) → Qualified Lead → Sales Accepted Lead (SAL) → Opportunity → Order → Repeat customer.

CRM pipeline stages: New Lead → Contacted → Qualified → Sales Accepted → Requirement Confirmed → Quotation Sent → Negotiation → Won / Lost → Repeat Purchase / Nurture.

Mandatory lost reason: Price · Competitor · Wrong product · No current requirement · Purchase postponed · Unreachable · Duplicate / wrong enquiry · Quality concern · Credit / payment issue · Location / service issue · Other.

Lead typeHandoff to sales (working hours)Quote request,



or urgent requirement with part number + quantityWithin 15 minutesOther high-intent leads (high lead score)Within 30 minutesNormal qualified enquiryWithin 2 working hoursAfter-hours enquiryAuto-acknowledged immediately; handed over within the first 30 minutes of the next working day

Key responsibilities

01 · Lead capture (Zoho Forms)

- Build and A/B test enquiry, quote-request and dealer-registration forms for the website, landing pages, social and events.
- Connect every form, landing page and campaign to Zoho CRM with source and UTM fields captured automatically.

02 · Zoho CRM & pipeline ownership

- Ensure 100% of new leads are captured, tagged and assigned; maintain contact data quality and remove duplicates.
- Run the lifecycle and pipeline stages above; design and refine lead scoring.
- Monitor Sales Accepted Lead (SAL) status — accepted or rejected with reason — and escalate leads not contacted within the agreed SLA.
- Send a weekly CRM health report.

03 · Marketing automation (Zoho Marketing Automation, Zoho Flow)

- Build and run production journeys, for example: 1. New website enquiry · 2. Dealer registration · 3. Quote follow-up · 4. Dormant lead re-activation · 5. Repeat purchase reminder · 6. Customer feedback / NPS.
- Create trigger-based workflows (form submission, score change, stage change) and personalise by segment, product and region.
- No automation goes live without test records and a successful end-to-end check (form → CRM → email → sales task).
- Major changes to workflows, lead scoring, pipeline stages, integrations or automation logic must be documented and approved before going live.
- Monitor automations daily; fix any broken workflow within 24 hours.
- Document every automation: name · purpose · trigger · conditions · actions · owner · apps connected · dependencies · testing status · failure handling · last modified date.

04 · Email campaigns (Zoho Campaigns)

- Send 2+ campaigns a month to segmented dealer, customer and prospect lists, using content from the Content Executive.
- Maintain list hygiene: segmentation, suppression, bounces; A/B test subject, content, CTA and send time.
- Track delivery, bounce, unsubscribe and spam-complaint rates alongside opens and clicks.

05 · Website chat & WhatsApp (Zoho SalesIQ + approved WhatsApp platform where used)

- Run live chat and a chatbot for size lookup, availability and dealer enquiries; capture after-hours chats as leads.
- Where an approved WhatsApp platform is used, manage enquiry acknowledgement, dealer registration, follow-up journeys, campaign messages, lead handoff and opt-outs in sync with CRM.

06 · Surveys & closed-loop feedback (Zoho Survey)

- Run customer and dealer satisfaction surveys and quarterly NPS.
- Close the loop: survey response → CRM record → negative response creates a task → responsible person → resolution → closure, reported monthly.

07 · Paid ads governance

- For every campaign, define objective, audience, geography, budget, landing page and UTM structure before launch.
- Monitor spend daily/weekly; no budget increase without management approval.
- Track the full paid funnel: Ad → Landing page (conversion rate) → Form → Lead → Qualified lead → SAL → Quote → Order.
- Judge campaigns on qualified CPL, sales-accepted leads, quote and order value and ROI — not CPL alone.

08 · Tracking & attribution

- Run one UTM standard for all campaigns: source (Google, Meta, LinkedIn, website, organic, WhatsApp, referral) · medium · campaign · content · landing page.
- Report first-touch and last-touch source where practical.

09 · Analytics, dashboards & ROI (Zoho Analytics)

- Build live dashboards for the full funnel: Leads → MQL → Sales Accepted Leads → Quotes → Orders → Revenue → Repeat orders.
- Report cost per qualified lead, lost-reason analysis, customer acquisition cost and marketing ROI.
- Weekly report every Monday; monthly review with insights and next actions.

10 · Data governance & consent

- Maintain consent and unsubscribe status, suppression and do-not-contact lists, bounce management and duplicate control.
- Apply role-based access in Zoho; never export or share customer data without authorisation.
- No customer database may be kept in personal Excel files, personal email, personal cloud storage or personal WhatsApp contacts unless specifically authorised.

11 · Loyalty data (Zoho Thrive)

- Own the loyalty programme's dealer database, enrolment, segmentation, points data, automation and ROI reporting. The Content Executive owns its creative and promotion.
