The ideal candidate should be comfortable working in a growing company, capable of independently managing the complete sales cycle, and willing to take ownership of business development activities from lead generation to order closure.

This is a hands-on role suited to someone who can lead from the front, work independently with minimal supervision, and adapt to the dynamic requirements of a growing business.

Key Responsibilities

• Generate new business leads through cold calling, networking, email outreach, market research, and client visits.
• Identify and develop business opportunities for auditorium chairs, cinema seating, stadium seating, institutional furniture, recliners, and sofas.
• Build and maintain relationships with architects, interior designers, contractors, consultants, dealers, distributors, corporate clients, and institutions.
• Identify upcoming projects, tender opportunities, and potential customers in relevant markets.
• Manage CRM activities, maintain customer databases, track sales pipelines, and ensure timely follow-ups.
• Prepare quotations, proposals, and commercial offers and follow up to convert enquiries into confirmed orders.
• Conduct client meetings, understand customer requirements, present suitable solutions, and negotiate commercial terms within company guidelines.
• Achieve monthly and quarterly sales targets and contribute to overall business growth.
• Coordinate with design, production, and installation teams to ensure smooth project execution.
• Maintain sales reports, forecasts, customer records, and regular updates on business development activities.

Qualifications & Skills

• 3–5 years of experience in business development, B2B sales, or project sales.
• Strong communication, negotiation, client acquisition, and relationship-management skills.
• Experience in lead generation, CRM management, sales pipeline tracking, and order conversion.
• Ability to independently identify prospective customers and develop new business opportunities.
• Working knowledge of MS Excel, email, CRM tools, and basic sales reporting.
• Ability to manage multiple responsibilities, solve problems, and work with minimal supervision.
• Willingness to travel for client meetings and project visits as required.

Preferred Industry Experience

Candidates with experience in any furniture industry or interior design and interior fit-out sales are encouraged to apply.

Relevant backgrounds include office furniture, home furniture, modular furniture, sofas, recliners, commercial furniture, institutional furniture, turnkey interiors, and interior solutions.

Experience in B2B sales, project sales, dealer development, client acquisition, and relationship management will be an added advantage.

Ideal Candidate Profile

• Self-driven, proactive, flexible, and comfortable working in a growing business.
• Willing to take ownership and lead from the front rather than depend entirely on management for direction.
• Capable of handling the complete sales cycle independently, from prospecting and lead generation to negotiations and order closure.
• Comfortable managing multiple responsibilities and adapting to changing business priorities.
• Practical, resourceful, and focused on achieving measurable results.
• Able to communicate directly with management and coordinate effectively with internal teams.
