Job description

Convert conversations into long-term client relationships for our digital marketing services across B2B, B2C, and global markets.

At Lotus Digital, sales is not about aggressive pitching - it's about understanding business problems and offering the right growth solutions.

We are looking for a Sales Specialist who can confidently sell SEO, performance marketing, web development, branding, and digital growth services to both B2B and B2C clients. This role is ideal for professionals who enjoy consultative selling, structured follow-ups, and closing deals based on value—not discounts.

You will work closely with strategy, marketing, and delivery teams to ensure clients are onboarded with clarity and long-term intent. This role requires strong execution, discipline, and ownership in a fast-growing startup environment.

Job Description

As a Sales Specialist, you will be responsible for generating qualified leads, nurturing prospects, understanding client needs, and closing deals that align with business goals. You'll act as the bridge between marketing strategy and client expectations.

This role goes beyond basic sales calls - you'll need to understand digital marketing fundamentals, interpret client challenges, and position solutions confidently in an AI-driven, performance-focused market.

Reporting & CRM Management

• Update CRM with lead status, notes, and follow-ups
• Track conversion rates, deal values, and sales cycle duration
• Share insights on objections, market demand, and client expectations
