Job description

Business Development Executive

Uttam Education | Remote | Full-Time | 0-1 Year Experience

About Uttam Education

Uttam Education is an education and upskilling company helping working professionals build practical, workplace-ready skills in Business & Data Analytics.

Our programs include hands-on training in Excel, SQL, Power BI and Tableau, with a strong focus on practical application, projects, real-world datasets and workplace skills.

We are growing our Business Development team and are looking for motivated individuals who want to build a career in Sales, Business Development, Customer Engagement and Growth.

About the Role

This is not a traditional telecalling role. You will primarily work with inbound enquiries generated through Uttam Education's marketing channels. These are prospects who have already shown interest in our programs through our advertising and other marketing activities.

Your responsibility will be to understand their requirements, have meaningful conversations, follow up consistently, manage the sales pipeline and help interested prospects make an informed decision.

Along the way, you will also learn how modern sales and growth teams use CRM systems, WhatsApp Business APIs, broadcasting, lead nurturing, webinars, demos and funnel optimization.

What You Will Do

• Connect with inbound enquiries generated through our marketing channels.
• Understand the prospect's professional background, career goals and learning requirements.
• Conduct meaningful conversations through calls and WhatsApp.
• Follow up with prospects from previous conversations and manage the next steps.
• Reconnect with prospects who were previously unanswered or inactive.
• Maintain accurate information and follow-up activities in the CRM.
• Participate in webinars, demo sessions and other customer engagement activities.
• Learn and work with WhatsApp Business APIs, broadcasting and lead-nurturing workflows.
• Contribute ideas to improve lead engagement, follow-up processes and conversion.
• Work towards business development and revenue goals through consultative conversations.

What Your Typical Day May Look Like

You will start your day by reviewing:

• New enquiries received through our marketing channels.
• Previous conversations and pending follow-ups.
• Prospects who have not yet responded.
• Opportunities that require the next action.

You will then prioritize your day, engage with prospects through calls and WhatsApp, update the CRM, participate in scheduled webinars or demos, and review your progress.

The focus is not simply on the number of calls made. We value productive conversations, consistent follow-up, customer understanding and meaningful movement of opportunities through the pipeline.

Key Performance Expectation

The initial expectation is approximately 5-6 productive prospect conversations per working day.

A productive conversation means a meaningful two-way interaction with a prospect—not simply making a call.

Targets are used to track progress, provide direction and identify opportunities for improvement. We believe in giving our team the training, tools and support required to achieve their goals.

Who We Are Looking For

• Freshers and candidates with 0-1 year of experience can apply.
• 2025 and 2026 graduates are welcome to apply.
• Strong English communication is mandatory.
• Comfortable speaking with working professionals over phone calls and WhatsApp.
• Genuine interest in building a career in Sales, Business Development, Marketing or Growth.
• Good listening, communication and follow-up skills.
• Willingness to learn CRM systems, WhatsApp tools and digital sales processes.
• Self-driven, disciplined and comfortable working independently in a remote environment.
• Prior experience in sales, business development, customer support, marketing or internships is an advantage, but not mandatory.

Regional Language Advantage

Candidates who can confidently communicate in Tamil, Kannada, Telugu, Malayalam or Marathi will have an added advantage.

What You Will Learn

This role will give you practical exposure to:

• Consultative selling and business development
• Customer communication and engagement
• Lead qualification and sales funnel management
• CRM and pipeline management
• WhatsApp Business APIs and engagement campaigns
• Lead nurturing and follow-up systems
• Webinar and demo management
• Conversion optimization
• Sales and customer behaviour
• Growth and marketing operations

Compensation & Benefits

During Probation

₹15,000/month fixed + performance incentives + insurance

After Successful Confirmation

Up to ₹45,000/month + performance incentives + insurance

Your compensation and progression after confirmation will depend on your performance, capability, learning, ownership and contribution to the business.

Career Growth

As you develop your skills and demonstrate consistent performance, you can take on greater responsibility and grow into senior business development, sales or growth roles.

Why Join Uttam Education?

You will not be restricted to following a sales script or making calls throughout the day.

You will learn how to understand a customer, identify their requirements, recognize what may be preventing a prospect from moving forward, decide the next best action and contribute ideas to improve the sales funnel.

You will work with real inbound prospects, participate in live business activities and learn how marketing, sales, technology and customer engagement come together to drive business growth.
