Sales Lead

Job Title: Sales Lead Company: Filmbakers Locations: Bengaluru (In-Office) Working Days: Monday to Friday Timings: 9:00 AM – 6:00 PM Position Overview About the role We're looking for a Sales Lead who can do two things at once: close deals personally and sharpen the people around them. You'll own a pipeline of leads end-to-end — from first response through signed contract — while mentoring 2–4 junior reps on prospecting, pitching, and objection handling. This is a hands-on role for someone who wants to sell and build the sales muscle of a growing team, not manage from the sidelines. We care more about your results than your stack. If you've built a process that consistently converts leads into closed deals, we want to hear how you did it. What you'll do ● Source and build your own pipeline of leads through outbound prospecting, alongside whatever inbound comes in ● Own and close that pipeline end-to-end — from first response through proposal, pricing negotiation, and signed deal ● Run client calls and demos, walking prospects through Filmbaker's offering and pricing ● Mentor and coach junior sales reps on prospecting, pitching, call quality, and objection handling ● Help shape sales playbooks, outreach sequences, and call scripts based on what's actually converting ● Track funnel performance — response rates, meeting rates, close rates — and use that to coach the team ● Work closely with the production/creative team to scope projects accurately before they're quoted ● Spot new verticals, industries, or client segments worth pursuing What we're looking for ● 3–5 years in B2B sales, ideally in an agency, SaaS, creative services, or video/content production environment ● A track record of personally closing mid-ticket deals (roughly ₹50K–₹5L range) ● A clear, repeatable process for sourcing leads and moving them through a funnel to close — you'll walk us through the tools and methods that work for you ● Comfort mentoring or informally coaching junior teammates — no prior formal "manager" title required, just the instinct to help others improve ● Strong written and verbal communication in English; Hindi is a plus for the Indian SME market ● Familiarity with the video production, content, or marketing industry is a strong plus, not a requirement Nice to have ● Experience selling to Indian SME or D2C brands ● Comfort working within a CRM or pipeline-tracking system of some kind ● Experience with custom or project-based pricing and quoting What we offer ● Real ownership in shaping the sales process and playbooks, not just executing someone else's ● A fast-moving startup environment with direct visibility into company growth ● Room to grow into a formal sales leadership role as the team scales
