How You'll Make an Impact • We are looking for high-octane Business Development Analysts who are masters of the "first touch."

You don't just find leads; you build the bridge that turns a prospect into a long-term partner.

What We're Looking For Professional & Technical Strengths: • Academic Qualification: Bachelor's degree (B.Sc) in any discipline. • Context: For Industry Specialists, a degree related to their vertical (e.g., Engineering for Oil & Gas, or Finance for Financial Services) is an advantage. • Senior: 2-3 years in corporate sales within specialized sectors (FMCG, Energy, Fintech, etc.). • Junior: 1+ year in B2B sales with a solid understanding of cold calling and networking. • Skills: Expert-level proposal drafting and lead generation techniques. • Communication: Ability to hold professional conversations at all levels of a corporate hierarchy. • Organization: Impeccable pipeline management skills; you never let a lead go cold.

Leadership & Interpersonal Strengths: • Persistence: You see a "no" as a "not yet" and have the grit to follow up effectively. • Resilience: Comfortable in high-pressure, target-driven environments. • Curiosity: A natural researcher who stays updated on industry trends and market shifts

Success Milestones: Your First Year Within 3 Months: Activity & Pipeline Building: • Outreach Rigor: Establish a consistent daily rhythm of cold calls and email outreach to hit weekly lead generation targets. • Database Mastery: Achieve 100% CRM compliance, ensuring all leads from events and outreach are tracked with precision. • Proposal Drafting: Master the Estrada proposal style, successfully drafting and sending at least 5 tailored proposals per week. • Product Knowledge: Deep-dive into our solutions to speak fluently to prospect pain points.

Within 6 Months: Conversion & Strategy Optimization: • Conversion Consistency: Achieve a steady 5:3 ratio of leads generated to leads converted. • Strategic Networking: Successfully represent EISS at industry events and conferences, converting high-level networking into scheduled introductory meetings. • Revenue Traction: Meet monthly revenue generation targets consistently for your assigned solution portfolio. • SLA Proficiency: Take ownership of weekly SLA reviews to ensure client expectations are aligned with our delivery.

Within 1 Year: Industry Authority & Portfolio Growth: • Market Research: Deliver your first comprehensive Quarterly Industry Research Report, providing the BD team with actionable insights for regional expansion. • Client Satisfaction: Achieve an 80% feedback score from clients you have successfully onboarded. • Portfolio Scale: Manage a healthy monthly revenue portfolio, contributing significantly to the Business Unit's overall growth.
