Bhagiradh Manne

I’m a Senior Business Development Executive who builds revenue by designing targeted sales strategies, turning market insights into compelling course and program value, and creating strong client relationships. I enjoy consultative selling—listening to customer needs, then tailoring demos and presentations that make the benefits clear.

In my recent role at Cognico, I designed and implemented sales strategies for Data Science and Data Analytics up-skilling courses, delivering a 13% increase in enrollments over 6 months. I also strengthened corporate and learner relationships, leading to an 11% growth in repeat business and referrals, and achieved a 15% conversion rate through tailored presentations and demos. By executing negotiations that closed deals, I contributed to an 18% growth in overall sales revenue. At Vertocity, I developed business development strategies that increased company revenue by 9% within the first 6 months, supported by cross-functional collaboration and lead generation from events and conferences.

I stay updated on industry trends so offerings remain relevant and competitive, and I actively track monthly sales to inform business development planning. I bring strong work ethic, strategic thinking, and a passion for exceeding targets—recognized through “Salesperson of the Month” (Cognico, March 2024) and “Business Innovator of the month” (Vertocity, 2023), plus leadership roles as President of a university business club and visiting lectureship on strategic selling techniques.
