• End-to-End Sales Pipeline: Craft tailored corporate pitches, submit business proposals, negotiate terms, and seamlessly hand over won accounts to our delivery/ops team.
• Market Mapping: Stay on top of hiring trends, startup funding rounds, and corporate shifts in Pune and pan-India to proactively pitch Peoplever's services.

Required Skills & Qualifications

Experience: 1–2 years of proven success in B2B sales, corporate corporate business development, or recruitment agency sales.
Core Competencies: Strong mastery over Lead Generation, cold outreach, and corporate Client Management.
Communication: Exceptional verbal and written English communication skills; ability to comfortably pitch to C-level executives and HR leaders.
Tools: Familiarity with modern sales tools (CRMs like HubSpot/Zoho, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, and Excel/Google Sheets).
Mindset: A self-starter who embraces the ownership, agility, and fast execution required in an early-stage startup environment.

What’s In It For You?

• Flexible Autonomy: 5-day work week (Monday to Friday) with flexible working hours and a collaborative hybrid structure (Pune office + Work From Home option).
• Uncapped Earning Potential: Competitive base salary paired with a highly rewarding, performance-linked incentive structure.
• Direct Growth Path: Work closely with the leadership team, giving you a front-row seat to how a startup scales and an accelerated path toward a managerial role.
