• *Location:** Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh (Field\-based)

• *Department:** Sales \& Business Development

• *Reports To:** Founder / Business Development Manager

• *Employment Type:** Part\-time

• *Contract Duration:** 3 months (extendable based on performance)

• *About Us**

SchoolSetu by Cognitive Smart Solutions is a WhatsApp\-first automation platform that helps schools handle attendance queries, report card distribution, fee collection, and parent announcements — all through a single WhatsApp number parents already use. No app downloads, no login friction, just “Hi” and a menu.

• *Role Overview**

We're looking for a part\-time, field\-driven Business Development Executive to onboard schools onto SchoolSetu. This is a high\-ownership, incentive\-led role — you identify schools, pitch and demo the product, close the deal, and earn a direct share of what you bring in.

• *Key Responsibilities**

• Identify and build a pipeline of target schools (private/CBSE/ICSE/international schools, school chains, education trusts)
• Reach out to principals, administrators, and trustees via cold visits, calls, email, and referrals
• Pitch SchoolSetu's value: reduced front\-office workload, faster fee collection, 24x7 parent self\-service via WhatsApp
• Run live product demos of the parent journey (attendance, report cards, fee payment, announcements)
• Negotiate and close deals as per the standard pricing model
• Coordinate with the onboarding team to ensure smooth go\-live for each signed school
• Maintain accurate pipeline and visit records, and share regular updates with the founder/BDM
• Represent SchoolSetu at local school events, expos, or principal meets as opportunities arise
• Consistently work toward the monthly onboarding target to remain eligible for the allowance

• *Compensation Structure**

• Allowance: Rs 5,000/month for travel and telephone/communication expenses — contingent on meeting the monthly target.
• Commission: Flat 50% of the first month's subscription fee for every school onboarded
• *Example: A school with 200 students onboards at Rs 10,000/month subscription → you earn Rs 5,000 commission for that deal.*
• Commission payout timing: Released only once the school's first subscription payment has actually cleared — not on signing or agreement alone
• No cap on the number of schools onboarded — earnings scale directly with your closures

• *Contract Terms**

• Initial contract: 3 months
• Extension beyond 3 months based on performance (targets met, pipeline quality, engagement)
• Part\-time role — flexible hours, but consistent field activity expected to meet monthly targets

• *Requirements**

• Strong communication and pitching skills, especially with school administrators/principals
• Comfortable with a field\-based role — visiting schools directly in your local area
• Own conveyance (two\-wheeler) preferred for local travel
• Self\-motivated and comfortable working in a target\-linked, commission\-based, part\-time structure
• Basic familiarity with WhatsApp, smartphones, and simple reporting (Excel/Google Sheets)
• Prior sales/field experience preferred but not mandatory — freshers with strong communication skills welcome to apply

• *What We Offer**

• Flat 50% commission on every school onboarded, paid once payment clears — no cap on earnings
• Monthly travel \+ telephone allowance on hitting target
• Flexible, part\-time working hours
• Training on product pitch, demo flow, and objection handling
• Opportunity for contract extension and growth into a larger role based on performance

Pay: ₹5,000\.00 per month
