Ascella Group is looking for a highly motivated Business Development Executive to build a consistent pipeline of qualified opportunities across international markets.
This role focuses on identifying, engaging, and qualifying high-value prospects for our premium website development, custom software development, branding, digital marketing, and cybersecurity services.
Our sales approach is consultative rather than transactional. Instead of selling predefined packages, we work closely with businesses to understand their goals, challenges, and growth plans before recommending tailored solutions.
You will be responsible for researching prospects, initiating conversations, building relationships with decision-makers, conducting initial qualification, and scheduling discovery meetings with the founder or consulting team.
This is a high-ownership role where success is measured by the quality of opportunities you generate, not simply the volume of outreach.
