And Sales Is the Tip of the Spear.

Closures. Revenue. Expansion.

If you can hunt, qualify, pressure‑test, and close while speaking in metrics — read on. Everyone else should scroll.

The Role (Read Carefully)

full‑stack Sales & Business Development role

You will own the entire loop:

Client acquisition → client servicing → revenue expansion → partnerships → YouTube‑led demand.

It’s intense. High accountability. Zero pampering.

Location:

No remote requests. No exceptions.

What You’ll Actually Do

1. Client Acquisition (Your Primary Battlefield)

your ability to close

• Hunt and close

  D2C, retail, and service brands

  with money and urgency.
• Build predictable pipelines:

  leads → discovery → pressure → proposal → close

  .
• Run founder‑to‑founder conversations — no junior‑level selling.
• Diagnose businesses fast and sell

  outcomes

  , not services.
• Position The Unfiltered Startup as the

  growth lever

  , not a vendor line item.

If you’re uncomfortable talking pricing, ROI, and risk — this role will expose you.

If you can’t close — you won’t survive.

2. Revenue Expansion & Account Control

Expanding revenue is the real game.

• Own accounts like a mini‑P&L.
• Use metrics to upsell with logic, not persuasion tricks:

  CAC, ROAS, CPM, CPP, LTV, AOV, CM

  .
• Push clients from break‑even to scale mode.
• Identify when to increase spend, change offers, or kill bad ideas.
• Reduce churn by making yourself economically indispensable.

Clients don’t stay because they like you. They stay because you make them money.

3. Business Development = High‑Leverage Sales

deal‑making

• Create new revenue lines through partnerships.
• Pitch and close

  creators, SaaS tools, agencies, and brands

  .
• Build BD decks that answer one question: Where is the money?
• Turn inefficiencies in the market into signed contracts.

If you don’t naturally think in deal structures, this will be uncomfortable.

4. YouTube → Revenue Integration

• Support research for

  case studies, financial breakdowns, and business stories

  .
• Convert

  viewers into leads

  using sharp hooks and funnel logic.
• Ensure content drives

  authority + inbound demand

  , not vanity metrics.

If you don’t understand how content turns into cash, you’ll struggle here.

Non‑Negotiable Experience

You must meet these. No debates.

• 2–5 years

  in Business Development, Performance Marketing, D2C Growth, or founder‑side roles.
• Strong understanding of

  Meta Ads scaling logic

  (you don’t need to click buttons, but you must understand how money scales).
• Clear grasp of

  D2C unit economics

  , retail, and distribution models.
• Direct experience dealing with

  founders and decision‑makers

  .
• Comfort with

  storytelling + data + numbers

  — this role blends all three.

range

Who This Role Is For (Sales‑First)

You’ll fit if you:

• See

  sales as leverage

  , not persuasion.
• Enjoy pressure, negotiation, and uncomfortable conversations.
• Can say no to bad clients without fear.
• Think in

  revenue math

  , not activity metrics.
• Treat every conversation as a potential deal.

You’ll work directly with founders. No corporate buffers. No HR shielding. No training wheels.

What You Get (If You Perform)

• Direct mentorship from

  IIT Delhi founders

  on systems, scale, and strategy.
• Exposure to the

  entire D2C growth stack

  : Listing → logistics → ads → CRO → retention → LTV.

• Profit‑linked incentives

  .
• Fast‑track path to

  international exposure

  .
• High autonomy and room to experiment.

The Sales Filter

Be honest with yourself:

• If rejection scares you — skip.
• If you need validation — skip.
• If you want inbound leads handed to you — skip.

But if you like walking into rooms where money decisions are made — If you like being responsible for revenue — If you want sales skills that compound for life —

The seat is open.

It won’t stay open.
