Inside Sales Executive

This is an inside sales position. The work centres on reaching people by phone through cold calling and talking with customers directly.

You would also be working towards sales targets, so the role is measured on results, not just on activity.

The post does not spell out a longer list of daily tasks, tools or reporting lines, so those are worth asking about if you reach an interview.

• Education: an MBA in Marketing is mandatory.
• Experience: 0 to 2 years.
• Languages: fluency in both English and Hindi.
• Communication: strong verbal and written skills.
• Comfort with: cold calling, customer interaction and sales targets.
• Attitude: self-motivated and proactive, with an interest in building a career in sales.

The work is onsite in Bangalore.

• Practise a short, clear cold-call opening out loud, in both English and Hindi, and be ready to switch between them smoothly.
• Prepare one or two examples from your MBA marketing coursework or projects that show you can talk to people and explain an idea simply.
• Think about how you would handle a target. It helps to explain how you would plan your day and follow up on conversations that did not close.
• Be ready to say why you want a career in sales. A specific reason sounds stronger than a general one.
• Write a few sentences or an email on a business topic and check them closely, since written English is also asked for.
