Job Description
New Business Consultant
Customer Acquisition Specialist
Were looking for closers, relationship builders, and opportunity creators.
If you know how to open doors, win trust, and close recurring business, Ello Technology wants to meet you.
Role Purpose
This role exists to help Ello Technology grow by creating new opportunities, building strong business relationships, and converting those opportunities into long-term monthly recurring revenue.
You will do this through proactive outreach, smart networking, meaningful conversations, confident closing, and disciplined follow-up on both self-generated and marketing-generated opportunities.
This is a role for someone who enjoys creating momentum, opening doors, and turning trust into commercial results. Your success will be measured by the recurring revenue you close and the quality of pipeline you build.
Your First 90 Days
What Success Looks Like
By Day 90, you should have built a strong foundation for consistent performance in the role.
That means:
- You have established a repeatable outbound rhythm with daily prospecting, weekly meetings, and disciplined follow-up
- You are responding consistently and professionally to inbound leads generated through marketing and captured in the CRM
- You are building a healthy pipeline and beginning to close deals consistently each month
- Your Zoho CRM is clean, current, and reliable enough to support accurate weekly forecasting
We are looking for someone who can build consistency early, not someone who waits for momentum to appear on its own.
Targets and Performance Measures
How Performance Is Measured
This role has a clear commercial target, with annual recurring revenue expectations to be discussed as part of the overall package and performance structure.
To support this, we track a disciplined weekly activity rhythm across prospecting, conversations, meetings, proposals, follow-up, and recurring revenue closed.
These measures are there to create clarity, consistency, and momentum. As real conversion data becomes available, activity expectations may be refined.
Key Responsibilities
1) Daily Prospecting, Inbound Follow-Up, and Pipeline Creation
You will be expected to create new business opportunities every day through a combination of consistent outbound activity and disciplined follow-up on inbound leads generated by marketing.
This includes:
- Cold calling into ideal prospect lists during structured call blocks
- Daily LinkedIn outreach using thoughtful connection and message strategies
- Daily email outreach that is clear, relevant, and designed to start conversations
- Responding to and following up on inbound leads generated through marketing and captured in Zoho CRM
- Managing both self-generated and inbound opportunities with urgency, professionalism, and consistency
2) Networking and Relationship Building
This role is not only about direct outreach. It also includes building a strong referral and partnership engine.
This includes:
- Participating in industry events and business networks on a regular basis
- Creating referral introductions through partners, clients, and strategic relationships
- Maintaining a live partner and referral pipeline in Zoho CRM
3) Discovery, Qualification, and Closing
You will lead quality sales conversations with confidence and structure.
This includes:
- Running discovery calls that uncover pain points, impact, urgency, decision-making process, and budget reality
- Qualifying opportunities properly so time is spent on the right prospects
- Presenting solutions clearly and guiding the next step with confidence
- Handling objections professionally, using logic, proof, and value rather than discounting
4) CRM Discipline and Pipeline Accuracy
A strong salesperson is also operationally sharp.
This includes:
- Logging all calls, meetings, notes, and next actions on the same day
- Keeping Zoho CRM stages accurate and up to date
- Taking part in weekly pipeline reviews with the Sales BU Lead to review progress, blockers, and next steps
5) Follow-Up and Deal Progression
This is a role for someone who understands that many deals are won in the follow-up.
This includes:
- Executing a disciplined multi-touch follow-up process after every meeting and proposal
- Maintaining professional momentum with prospects
- Creating urgency in an ethical and commercially smart way through deadlines, limited capacity, and implementation availability
