The Opportunity

As AyurPrana's Sales Executive, you will be the vital human bridge between people seeking transformation and the programs that can deliver it.. You drive bookings. You fill programs. You hit the number—and then you set a new one.

This is not a passive, order-taking role. It demands a self-starter who can manage a full sales funnel, relentlessly pursue leads, and close with confidence and grace. The product is extraordinary—world-class healing and education rooted in one of the oldest wellness traditions on Earth. Your job is to make sure the people who need it find it, and commit to it.

This is not a transactional sales role. It is a relationship-driven position that requires genuine curiosity about each prospect's journey, deep knowledge of our offerings, and the ability to guide people toward experiences that will genuinely change their lives. You will build long-term relationships with clients, partners, and stakeholders while directly supporting AyurPrana's strategic growth and the living legacy of Vasant Lad's work.
