Role Snapshot

This role is built for someone who thrives on the outbound grind. The bulk of your time will go into lead generation and outreach: building target lists, running multi-channel prospecting (email, calls, ), and booking qualified meetings. You'll also carry those conversations through discovery, proposal support, and deal closure, working closely with our Pre-Sales, Delivery, and Leadership teams.

Work Location & Model

• You must be based in Bangalore. This is non-negotiable for this role.
• The role is remote day-to-day, but you'll be expected to attend weekly in-person meetings, either at Kambaa's partner locations or at client locations in Bangalore.
• Candidates outside Bangalore will not be considered, regardless of willingness to relocate later.

Key Responsibilities

Pipeline Generation & Outreach (majority of your time)

• Build and continuously refresh a target-account list across our SaaS partner ecosystem.
• Run high-volume, multi-channel outreach (email, cold calls, , events) to generate qualified leads.
• Log every lead and touchpoint in the CRM and on vendor portals to secure commission eligibility.

Discovery & Solution Positioning

• Schedule and run discovery meetings to capture business workflows and pain points.
• Bring in Pre-Sales/Solution Architects for detailed demos at the right stage.
• Assist in demo prep, ensuring client requirements are accurately captured.

Proposal & Pricing Management

• Prepare and issue proposals using pre-approved templates.
• Secure internal approvals before sending to clients.

Deal Negotiation & Closure

• Lead commercial discussions: pricing, discounting, contract terms.
• Drive negotiations through to signature.

Handoffs & Relationship Management

• Organize post-signature kickoffs with Delivery, Pre-Sales, and Technical teams.
• Attend selected client check-ins in Bangalore to monitor relationship health.
• Identify upsell and cross-sell opportunities to grow existing accounts.

Requirements

Experience

• Minimum 2 years of professional experience in tech sales — SaaS or IT services.
• Proven track record of prospecting, cold outreach, and lead generation in a target-driven environment.

Communication Skills

• Strong spoken and written English is mandatory.
• Ability to hold structured, confident conversations with business stakeholders.
• Working knowledge of Kannada is a strong plus, given the client and partner base in Bangalore.

Location

• Must currently reside in Bangalore and be able to attend weekly in-person meetings there.

Sales & Product Aptitude

• Comfortable with high-volume outbound activity as the primary part of the role.
• Quick to learn multiple SaaS products (Freshworks, HubSpot, and more) and translate business needs into a pitch.
• CRM hygiene and disciplined follow-up.

Mindset

• High ownership, resilience, and comfort with rejection that comes with outbound sales.
• Team player, collaborative with Pre-Sales, Delivery, and Leadership.

Why This Role Is a Great Fit

• Multi-Product Exposure: Sell across our partner ecosystem — Freshworks, HubSpot, WebEngage, and more — giving you exposure to multiple industries and buyer personas rather than a single product pitch.
• End-to-End Deal Ownership: Own the customer journey from first outreach through closure, with incentives on both new business and future upsell/cross-sell.
• AI-First Selling: Use modern CRM, outreach, research, and automation tools to prospect smarter, not just harder.
• Direct Leadership Exposure: Work closely with Kambaa's leadership, with visibility into GTM strategy and partner-led growth.

Career Growth Path

• Year 0–1: Sales Development Representative — master multi-product outbound selling and consistently exceed quota.
• Year 1+: SDR Lead (high performers) — lead and coach a small pod of SDRs.
• Year 2–3: Two tracks for exceptional talent — Sales Manager (own team strategy and pipeline forecasting) or Technical Consultant (leverage product depth to run demos and advise clients).
