Sales & Operations Executive

Most of this job is upkeep. You would keep distributor leads current in Google Sheets or a CRM, follow sample shipments through delivery and logistics updates, and write up daily sales and operations reports.

You would also work with the sales team on lead follow-ups and getting distributors onboarded. On the order side, you would help with new orders, track whether payments have come in, and coordinate dispatch.

There is a selling element too. You would talk to potential and existing distributors, follow up with the prospects assigned to you, and earn extra incentives when a distributor closes. The post also says you would work closely with the founding team.

• Fresh graduates, or people with up to 1 year of experience.
• Comfortable communicating in both Hindi and English.
• Basic working knowledge of Google Sheets or MS Excel.
• Organised and responsible, and fine with chasing follow-ups.
• Keen to learn FMCG sales, distribution and business operations.

The work mode is work from home, with Thane, Maharashtra listed as the location. Pay is a fixed amount plus performance-based sales incentives. The post gives no figures.

• Brush up on spreadsheet basics: sorting, filtering, simple formulas and keeping a tracker tidy. A small lead-tracking sheet you built yourself is easy to show.
• Practise writing a short, clear daily summary. Reports are part of this job, so tidy writing helps.
• Be ready to speak comfortably in both Hindi and English, since you would be talking to distributors.
• Think of an example where you followed up on something repeatedly until it closed. It shows the kind of persistence the role needs.
• Read a little about how FMCG distribution works, from distributor to retailer, so the terms are familiar.
