Hopin lists many comparable sales roles across India, so you have options to weigh against this one. What sets this one apart is the mix of household solar sales, a hybrid mode and a small team of interns to guide.
What you will handle in your district
You run the full household sale yourself. That means following up on leads, visiting sites, explaining the schemes and subsidy to the family, preparing the quotation and closing the deal. Districts named in the post include Baleshwar, Jaleshwar, Baripada, Karanjia, Keonjhar, Barbil and Jajpur.
Once a customer says yes, you work with the operations team on the loan and the paperwork. You also keep your pipeline and follow-ups current in the CRM.
The role has a people side too. Interns are placed in the blocks and towns of your district, and you guide them and review their work. You report to the Zonal Head (Residential Solar).
Who can apply and what you need
Freshers are welcome if they show an ownership mindset. The experience range is 0 to 3 years, and there are 5 openings. The work mode is hybrid, but you must be comfortable with field work every day.
- Communication: strong communication and convincing skills. The post calls this a hard requirement.
- Vehicle: your own two-wheeler and a valid licence.
- Languages: fluency in your state's local language (Odia, Hindi or Bangla), plus working English.
- Targets: you should be fine with earnings linked to targets.
Field sales experience in telecom, insurance, RO or water purifiers, fintech or microfinance is a plus, not a must.
Pay: fixed 20,000 per month, 1,800 travel allowance, and PF and ESIC where applicable. You also earn 2,000 for each confirmed installation you close and 500 for each one your interns close. There is no upper cap, and earnings can go as high as 35,000 to 40,000 per month.

How to stand out for this kind of sales role
- It helps to practise a short pitch in the local language you would use with customers, and be ready to explain it in simple English too.
- Read up on how rooftop solar subsidies and home loans work in general, so you can answer a family's basic questions calmly.
- If you have sold anything door to door, in a shop or at a campus event, bring one real example with the numbers you achieved.
- Show that you can keep records. A habit of noting every follow-up date makes CRM work easier.
- Think about how you would help a newer team member improve. Coaching interns is part of this job.
