• Explain products, offerings, and the business model clearly to partners and teams.
• Conduct group meetings, presentations, and business sessions to build awareness and trust.
• Support new partners during their initial journey and help them become productive.
• Build and maintain long-term relationships with key stakeholders.
• Drive sales growth and achieve assigned business targets.
• Expand the business into new towns, markets, and territories.
• Handle field-level business development and sales closure activities.
• Develop effective local sales and marketing strategies.
• Collect and share market insights, competitor information, and customer/partner feedback with the company.
• Ensure consistent follow-up and conversion of business opportunities.

Desired Candidate Profile

• Graduate in any discipline.
• 2-3+ years of relevant experience in sales, business development, field sales, channel sales, distribution, or related industries.
• Experience in product-based sales will be preferred.
• Strong convincing, negotiation, and communication skills.
• Good understanding of field sales and sales closure.
• Ability to develop and manage business relationships.
• Strong networking and territory-development skills.
• Ability to conduct meetings, presentations, and group sessions.
• Self-driven with a strong entrepreneurial and ownership mindset.
• Comfortable with extensive field work and market development.
• Target-oriented and capable of working independently.
• Candidates from across India can apply; willingness to relocate/work in Pune is required.
