  • Clear speech that is easily understood by US customers (fluency matters more than accent)
  • Strong persuasion and listening skills
  • Target-driven mindset with a strong hunger to earn and grow
  • Resilience to handle rejection and stay consistent through high call volumes
  • Willingness to work night shifts from the Hyderabad office
  • Coachable attitude with the ability to apply feedback quickly

  • Regular performance feedback against clear, transparent targets

Career Path

  • Business Development Intern (Months 1 to 3)
  • Business Development Executive (Pre-Placement Offer): ₹20,000 to ₹25,000 fixed per month plus uncapped incentives
  • Senior Business Development Executive
  • Team Lead
  • Promotions are based on performance. Top performers grow into leadership roles as the team expands.
