Sales Associate - Fresher

About the job:As a Sales Associate, you are the first point of contact for ambitious students and parents. Your job is not to close the sale; it's to diagnose their profile fast, build enough trust and clarity that they see real value in a deeper conversation, and hand them off to the counseling team as a well-qualified, booked appointment. This is a strong first role for building a career in high-performance B2C sales, with structured training from day one, no prior experience necessary.

Key Responsibilities:

1. Speed-to-Lead: Respond to inbound inquiries, including calls, WhatsApp, web forms, and ad leads, within minutes, as response speed is one of the biggest levers on conversion in B2C.

2. Lead Qualification: Run structured discovery calls to assess a student's profile, intent, timeline, and budget fit against Ambitio's offerings.

3. Appointment Setting: Convert qualified conversations into booked counseling sessions with the closing team and drive strong show-up rates.

4. Lead Scoring & Routing: Tag and prioritize leads by readiness (hot/warm/cold) and route each to the right counselor or nurture track.

5. Nurture & Re-engagement: Follow up with undecided or 'not-now' leads through a structured cadence of calls, WhatsApp, and email until they're sales-ready.

6. Feedback to Marketing: Flag lead-quality patterns and common objections to Marketing to sharpen targeting and messaging.

7. CRM & Funnel Reporting: Keep lead data clean and current, and track personal funnel numbers, including contact rate, qualification rate, and MQL-to-SQL conversion.
