2. Job Description (Responsibilities)
This section details what they will do every day. It uses the exact steps from Section 1, 6, 8, and 14 of the Handbook.
Job Description (Key Responsibilities):
As a Founding Specialist, your primary job is to find legitimate businesses that are a good fit for PingMart, introduce them to the platform, and guide them through registration and profile completion.
Your daily responsibilities will include:
Active Sourcing & Vetting: Independently research and identify active, legitimate businesses via directories, social media (Instagram, Facebook), WhatsApp, and websites. You must prioritize quality over quantity, vetting businesses before approaching them.
Strategic Outreach & Consultation: Initiate natural, professional conversations with business owners to introduce PingMart. Explain clearly how PingMart works alongside existing tools like Instagram to help them become more visible to local buyers.
Guidance & Support: Answer vendor questions using approved materials and handle objections professionally. Listen to their needs and create interest without applying high-pressure sales tactics.
Registration & Referral Management: Secure vendor consent before sending your official referral link. Ensure all vendors register using this link to guarantee proper referral attribution on your Specialist Dashboard.
Profile Completion: Actively help registered vendors complete their profiles. Ensure their listing is professional, including correct business details, category, location, valid WhatsApp number, logo, and clear product/service images.
Follow-Up & Reporting: Follow up professionally with vendors to encourage them to create their first listing (critical for visibility on PingMart). Provide insights and feedback to the EMI Digital Agency recruitment group.
