We work across Branding, Brand Strategy, Website Development, Social Media, Content Creation, Video Production, Digital Marketing, SEO, Performance Marketing, Advertising, Photography & Videography.

About the Role

We are looking for a target-driven Business Development Executive who can hunt, consult and close.

This is a revenue-focused role for someone who takes ownership of building their own pipeline rather than waiting for leads.

Key Responsibilities

• Generate new business through cold calling, LinkedIn outreach, email, referrals, networking and market research.
• Identify and qualify potential clients across startups, SMEs, local businesses and established companies.
• Connect with founders, business owners, marketing heads and decision-makers.
• Understand client business challenges and recommend relevant branding, marketing and digital solutions.
• Conduct 3–4 client meetings per week, including field meetings across Bengaluru.
• Prepare and present proposals, handle objections and negotiate commercials.
• Maintain consistent follow-ups and drive opportunities towards closure.
• Manage leads, opportunities and sales pipeline through CRM.
• Build relationships through networking events, startup communities, business associations, partnerships and referrals.
• Achieve assigned sales and revenue targets.
• Coordinate with internal teams for smooth client handover after closure.

What We're Looking For

• 2–4 years of experience in B2B Sales / Business Development / Client Acquisition.
• Bachelor's degree required.
• Experience in Advertising, Digital Marketing, Branding, Media, Real Estate or B2B Services preferred.
• Strong experience in lead generation, prospecting and deal closure.
• Excellent communication, presentation and negotiation skills.
• Comfortable with cold calling, field sales and client meetings.
• Working knowledge of CRM and sales pipeline management.
• Comfortable speaking with founders, CXOs and business owners.

You Should Be

Target-driven | Persistent | Confident | Persuasive | Proactive | Disciplined | Commercially aware | Strong at follow-ups | Accountable | Growth-minded

You should be someone who takes responsibility for results, doesn't wait to be spoon-fed leads, handles rejection well and consistently follows through until the deal is closed.

Not a fit if you:

• Prefer waiting for leads instead of generating them.
• Are uncomfortable with cold calling or field meetings.
• Don't enjoy working with sales targets.
• Struggle with follow-ups or accountability.
• Prefer a purely desk-based role.
• Need constant supervision to perform.

Why Join Phoenix Branding?

• Work directly with founders, businesses and decision-makers.
• Sell a diverse portfolio of branding, marketing and digital solutions.
• Performance-based incentives and career growth opportunities.

If you enjoy finding opportunities, starting conversations, solving business problems and closing deals - we'd like to meet you.
