- Engage business owners, senior stakeholders, and organisational decision-makers
- Negotiate commercial terms and close deals within approved guidelines
- Build long-term client relationships and identify repeat-business opportunities
- Maintain accurate CRM records, follow-up schedules, and opportunity status
- Track sales activity, pipeline value, conversion rates, proposals, and closed revenue




- Work towards agreed monthly and quarterly sales targets
- Provide market feedback and identify new business and partnership opportunities

Required Skills & Experience

- 2–4 years of relevant experience in Sales, Business Development, B2B Sales, Client Acquisition, or Account Management
- Proven ability to generate business opportunities and independently drive deals toward closure
- Robust verbal and written English communication skills

- Knowledge of badminton or the wider racket-sports ecosystem
- Hindi proficiency is an advantage for client engagement across India
- MBA in Sales & Marketing or a related discipline is an advantage

What We’re Looking For We are looking for someone who takes ownership, rather than waiting for instructions.

You should be comfortable opening new conversations, handling objections, building credibility with decision-makers, following up consistently, and converting opportunities into measurable revenue.

This is an opportunity to directly contribute to the market expansion and growth of a sports-focused technology platform.
