Sales Head - Andhra Pradesh

Sunlane Cleantech · Vishakhapatnam, India

Role Overview

We are seeking a high-energy, execution-focused Sales Head – Andhra Pradesh to launch and scale our residential and retail solar footprint across the state. Based in Vishakhapatnam or Vijayawada, you will own the regional market expansion—building a high-velocity direct sales machine and establishing a robust network of local channel partners, dealers, and influencers to bring our rooftop solutions directly to property owners.

While you will occasionally leverage high-value networks and inbound referrals for larger corporate projects, your primary mission is scaling volume through a disciplined field sales force and retail channels. Prior solar knowledge is preferred but not required. We need a retail-savvy leader who knows how to manage ground operations and scale a direct-to-consumer footprint in Andhra Pradesh.

Key Responsibilities

• Field Sales Leadership : Recruit, train, and manage a high-performing team of direct field sales executives. Implement strict daily operating metrics (property visits, site assessments, closures) and drive a highly motivated, high-velocity sales culture.
• Channel & Partner Development : Build and nurture a robust ecosystem of local channel partners, retail dealers, and key industry influencers (such as electrical contractors, architects, and local builders) to generate a steady stream of retail leads.
• Key Account & Referral Management : Act as the senior face of the company in the region to manage and close inbound referrals, institutional leads, and network-driven commercial connections.
• Data & CRM Discipline : Enforce absolute data discipline across the field team. Ensure every lead, site visit, and follow-up is accurately logged into our sales tracking software to optimize conversion funnels and maximize team efficiency.
• Local Market Activation : Partner with the central marketing team to design and execute hyper-local lead-generation campaigns, community activations, and ground-level promotional setups in high-potential residential clusters and towns across Andhra.

Required Qualifications & Skills

• Experience : 8 to 12+ years of hardcore sales experience, with at least 3+ years managing a distributed, high-volume retail or direct-to-consumer field sales team.
• Preferred Industry Background: Solar Industry, Renewable Energy, Building Materials, Retail Power Inverters/Batteries, Automotive, Real Estate, Consumer Durables or Insurance/Direct Financial Services.
• Sales Mechanics : Proven track record of managing high-volume transaction cycles, short sales funnels, and large teams of ground-level executives.
• Geographical Footprint : Deep familiarity with the Andhra market topology and a strong understanding of local consumer behavior.
• Leadership Style : A gritty, ground-level leader who leads by example, spends significant time in the field coaching team members, and knows how to keep a direct sales team consistently motivated.
• Language : Native fluency in Telugu is highly preferred, alongside English or Hindi.

What We Offer

• A competitive fixed salary matching market leadership standards.
• A highly rewarding, uncapped incentive structure tied directly to monthly volume targets and regional revenue milestones.
• Full technical, regulatory, and product training from industry experts.
• The autonomy to build and run a premier regional territory from scratch.
