Inside Sales Executive

This is a sales role built around calls and research. You would handle the whole journey from finding a lead to closing the deal.

• Find potential customers through inbound and outbound methods, including cold calls, email campaigns and online research, and decide which ones are worth pursuing.
• Carry out outbound telemarketing campaigns that promote the company's products or services and bring in leads or sales.
• Follow scripts and communication strategies to start conversations, then find out what each prospect needs and how interested they are.
• Talk through product benefits, answer questions and deal with objections.
• Build rapport and relationships so customers stay engaged.
• Learn the offering in depth so you can explain its value convincingly.
• Use persuasive selling to turn leads into qualified opportunities or sales.
• Log every interaction and its result accurately in the CRM, keeping the entries up to date.
• Report regularly on calls made, leads created and sales closed.
• Work with the sales and marketing teams so your calls fit their campaigns and plans.

You need a degree, and any stream is fine. The job is onsite in Chennai, so check that this works for you before applying.

• Very good spoken communication
• The ability to negotiate and persuade
• A customer-first outlook, with empathy
• Good listening and problem-solving
• Some familiarity with CRM software and the tools used in call centres

• Pick a product you know well and practise pitching it aloud in under a minute. Record yourself and listen for clarity, pace and tone.
• Think through a common objection, such as "it costs too much", and rehearse a calm reply that begins with what the customer said.
• Spend an hour reading about how CRM tools record calls and follow-ups, so you can speak about them even without hands-on use.
• Practise repeating back what someone tells you before you offer a solution. It shows you are listening.
• Look for any experience that involved talking to people, such as college events or part-time work, and describe it in terms of persuading or helping them.
