Business Development - Associate / Senior Associate
Be an Early Applicant
Guide students and professionals through consultative admissions conversations, explain programs, address objections, follow up with leads, maintain CRM records, and convert prospects into enrollments. Own pipeline, revenue, and enrollment targets while sharing lead-quality insights with marketing. Entry-level and experienced candidates are considered, with senior associates taking on responsibilities faster.
The short version
Who we’re looking for: People who can influence. You're the kind of person who doesn’t shy away from tough conversations - someone who listens deeply, understands what’s holding a person back, and knows how to guide them to take action. If you’ve done Business Development, Inside Sales, B2C Sales, Admissions Counseling, or Consultative Sales, you’ll find this role both challenging and meaningful.
What this role is about: As part of the Admissions & Inside Sales team, you’ll speak to students and professionals exploring Kraftshala’s programs - understanding their goals, tackling their doubts, helping them evaluate program fit, and guiding them toward confident career decisions. Every lead you convert into an enrolment directly contributes to student outcomes and Kraftshala’s growth.
Why you should apply: Sales is one of the fastest ways to build skills that set apart great professionals. Here, you’ll learn to communicate with impact, run structured consultative sales conversations, stay disciplined under pressure, and help people make decisions that genuinely change their careers. The learning curve is steep, the growth is fast, and the rewards - in both skills and incentives - are well worth the effort.
About us: Kraftshala is India’s largest skilling institution in terms of marketing & sales placements, with a 94% placement rate. We’re building the world’s most effective career launchpad across domains, backed by leaders from RedBus, NoBroker, Nestlé, and Performics.
The detailed version:
As a Business Development Associate / Senior Associate, you’ll be the first point of contact for people exploring Kraftshala’s programs. This is a 50% consultative admissions counseling + 50% structured inside sales role, where you guide applicants through clarity, empathy, and disciplined execution - while meeting your monthly enrolment, revenue, and pipeline conversion targets.
Responsibilities:
- Speak with students who show interest in our programs and guide them on whether the course is right for them.
- Run structured consultative sales conversations covering curriculum, learning outcomes, faculty, fees, placements, and expectations.
- Handle objections confidently and thoughtfully - supporting applicants through doubts on finances, program fit, career paths, and timelines.
- Follow up consistently so prospective students don’t miss deadlines or lose interest.
- Maintain accurate and timely CRM updates for all conversations and pipeline stages.
- Share insights from student conversations with marketing to improve lead quality and messaging.
- Represent Kraftshala with empathy, clarity, and professionalism in every interaction.
- This role mirrors the expectations of Inside Sales Representatives, Senior Business Development Executives, and Enrollment Advisors in fast-paced education and B2C sales teams.
Monthly Outcomes
Month 1: Learn the ropes — understand our programs, shadow calls, and start taking your first few admissions with guidance.
Month 2: Run independent admission calls, handle objections confidently, and begin hitting individual enrollment targets.
Month 3+: Own your pipeline end-to-end — consistently close admissions, exceed revenue goals, and help improve our processes.
Experienced candidates may transition faster into responsibilities typical of Senior Inside Sales roles.
