Business Development Associate HireForSkillz • Bengaluru, Karnataka, India (Remote)
About HireForSkillz:
HireForSkillz is a structured, execution-focused program that helps B2C sales professionals, freshers, and job seekers transition into B2B SaaS sales careers. Instead of passive learning and theory-heavy content, we focus on real-world execution through a step-by-step career system covering fundamentals, skills-building, outreach, and opportunity creation. Our portfolio-driven placement approach combines hybrid learning (live and recorded), real-world assignments, and AI-powered tools like Placement AI and Cold Call Labs. Participants also get internship opportunities with global exposure and a structured 21-day outreach system built to deliver real outcomes. We built HireForSkillz for people who are serious about learning by doing. That's exactly the kind of energy we look for when we hire.
About the Role:
HireForSkillz is looking for a Business Development Associate who's ready to get on the phone, start conversations, and turn leads into real opportunities. This isn't a role where you sit back and wait for things to happen. You'll be working a steady stream of leads provided by us, reaching out through cold calls and emails, and learning what it actually takes to build a pipeline in B2B SaaS. If you enjoy talking to people, don't mind hearing "no" a few times before you hear a "yes," and want to build genuine sales skills instead of just reading about them, this role is for you.
Role Overview:
As a Business Development Associate, your main job will be to work through leads provided by HireForSkillz and consistently reach out to them via cold calling and email. You'll be having real conversations, qualifying interest, and moving prospects forward in the pipeline. You'll work closely with the Business Development team to sharpen your outreach, learn how to handle objections, and understand what makes a lead worth pursuing. This role is a great starting point for someone who wants hands-on, high-repetition experience in outbound sales, with a clear path to grow into a more senior business development position as you build results.
Key Responsibilities:
- Make consistent cold calls to leads provided by HireForSkillz, following up as needed to move conversations forward.
- Send outreach emails to leads and manage follow-up sequences to keep prospects engaged.
- Qualify leads through calls and email conversations to understand fit and interest level.
- Log every call, email, and interaction accurately in the CRM so nothing falls through the cracks.
- Coordinate and help schedule discovery calls for the wider Business Development team.
- Learn and apply feedback on call scripts, email templates, and outreach approach to keep improving.
- Share what you're hearing from leads and prospects so the team can refine messaging and offers.
- Keep track of your own outreach numbers and outcomes so you can see your progress over time.
Required Skills & Qualifications:
- 0.6 to 2 years of experience in edtech, ideally in a sales, business development, or outreach capacity.
- Comfortable making outbound calls and sending outreach emails daily. This role involves real dialing and real inboxes, not just planning outreach.
- Clear, confident communication skills, both spoken and written.
- Genuine interest in business development, lead generation, and learning how B2B SaaS sales works.
- Thick skin and persistence. You'll hear "not interested" often, and that's part of the job.
- Comfortable working remotely in a fast-paced, execution-driven setup.
- Good organizational habits, especially around follow-ups and keeping CRM records clean.
- Bachelor's degree in Business, Marketing, Communication, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
- A willingness to take feedback seriously and keep improving your pitch and approach.
Location / Work Arrangement: This is a full-time, remote position.
