• Clearly articulate the ROI and operational value of our Cooling Management Platform and Utility Bill Intelligence Tool to CXOs, facility managers, and sustainability heads.

• Maintain an active sales pipeline using CRM tools like HubSpot or Zoho.
• Keep detailed records of sales activities and use CRM tools to maintain pipeline hygiene and forecasting accuracy.

Ideal Candidate

• 3–4 years of B2B SaaS sales experience in BFSI and retail sectors.
• Proven ability to sell tech-enabled solutions to enterprise-level customers with long sales cycles.
• Understanding of HVAC systems, utility billing structures, and energy savings metrics (kWh, peak demand, etc.).
• Strong relationship-building skills with C-suite and operational decision-makers.
• Ability to communicate complex technical products in a simple, compelling way.
• Entrepreneurial spirit — self-starter who thrives in a fast-paced, early-stage environment.

Qualifications:
