? Role : Lead - Telecalling Sales Growth

? Location: Gurgaon (at vendor s office) | Function: Sales Operations | Team Size: 50 (to be scaled to 100+)

? Do you believe sales success is driven as much by process design and performance insights as by the pitch itself

? We re looking for a Sales Leader who can own and scale our telecalling-driven growth across key digital subscription products - Masterclasses by Economic TImes Times of India (AI Masterclass for Business Professionals, AI Summer Camp for Students, Value Valuation Masterclass), ET Prime, TOI+, and Times Health+. This is not a coordination role. This is ownership - from the quality of the pitch and the sharpness of data, to the speed of execution and the scale of outcomes.

? What You ll Drive

? As the Head of Telecalling Sales, you will:

? 1. Own the telecalling sales funnel end-to-end, from agent productivity and lead handling to conversion strategy and process compliance.

? 2. Be the growth engine behind our telecalling-led revenue, optimizing daily execution and unlocking higher ROI from every lead and agent.

? 3. Shape the narrative and structure of every pitch - how our products are introduced, how objections are handled, and how value is communicated.

? 4. Scale our current team of 50 agents to 100+, with performance-based segmentation and specialized training interventions.

? Core Responsibilities

? 1 Daily Execution Sales Process Excellence

? Oversee daily operations at the vendor s telecalling office in Gurgaon Noida.

? Be the single point of accountability for meeting and exceeding daily, weekly, and monthly conversion targets.

? Ensure the CRM is updated with real call outcomes and lead journeys.

? Align pitch delivery with product value - iterate scripts, refine objection-handling, and test call approaches with real-time feedback.

? 2 Performance Optimization Team Scaling

? Identify top performers and design skill-based lead routing.

? Lead structured interventions for underperformers - coaching, training, and live call reviews.

? Set up performance hygiene rituals: agent-level scorecards, call shadowing, motivational incentives, and real-time nudges.

? Plan and implement a scale roadmap: 50 to 100 agents, structured in performance cohorts.

? 3 Insights to Action: Driving Growth with Data

? Partner with MIS to extract lead quality, agent performance, and conversion trends.

? Convert insights into decisions: Which campaigns work best Which objections are rising What changes should be made to pitches or lead flow

? Track lead aging, CRM discipline, and follow-up frequency to prevent drop-offs.

? 4 Vendor Campaign Alignment

? Ensure daily telecalling execution reflects the larger strategy and offers from ET Prime, TOI+, and Yoga.

? Recommend operational tweaks: call time experiments, WhatsApp-first sequences, reallocation of high-intent leads, etc.

? Work with Product Marketing teams to sync telecalling messages with live campaigns and offer positioning.

? Key Metrics Youll Be Measured On

? Conversion Rates: Lead-to-sale % uplift

? Agent Utilization: Reduced idle time, more productive hours

? Lead Efficiency: Faster lead actioning, no wastage

? Quality Compliance: CRM accuracy, QA feedback loop implementation

? Team Growth: Scalable team structure with improving per-agent productivity

? Who You Are

? 5+ years of experience in sales experience of handling telecalling team

? Have worked with CRMs and know how to use data for action, not just reporting

? Passionate about improving how sales is done - not just what s being sold

? Can coach, motivate, and uplift a team - even when you don t directly manage them

? Comfortable working in-office, 5 days a week and travel to Vendors office in Gurgaon Noida

? Prior experience in digital subscriptions, fintech, SaaS or edtech is a strong plus

? Why This Role is Different

? This isn t about enforcing SOPs. This is about building a growth engine.

? It s about owning the sales experience from the first ring to the final conversion.

? You ll work alongside Product, QA, MIS, and Marketing teams - but your role is the heartbeat of our telecalling business.

? TL;DR This Role Is. . .

? A growth-focused execution role where you lead the charge in optimizing and scaling our telecalling channel

? ? A coaching enablement role for telecalling teams - working with scripts, training, and incentives to drive performance

? ? A process architect role ensuring sales quality, speed, and alignment with business campaigns

? NOT a backend MIS/reporting role - that s a support function, not your mandate

? ? NOT a passive vendor manager - you re the one turning plans into performance

? ? NOT just sales ops - this is sales ownership at the frontlines

? Think you re ready to lead one of India s most ambitious digital sales engines from the frontlines

? ?Apply now - we re scaling fast and looking for someone who doesn t just follow the playbook, but rewrites it.
