Business Development Representative Intern

Most of our associates work first and second shift in plants within 30 miles of the branch. Our IT staffing division fills contract and full-time roles in development, infrastructure and help desk. Phones ring nonstop on Monday mornings.

The internship:

The Partnerships Team needs interns to build lead lists, reach out over LinkedIn, email and phone, and book demos for senior sales staff. You can work from home anywhere in the US. We have no office requirement. Monday to Friday, regular working hours, flexible start and finish. Most communication happens in Slack, with short video calls when needed.

Day to day:

• Attend the daily sales huddle on Zoom
• Make cold calls to qualified leads and book product demos for the sales manager
• Update every interaction in HubSpot or Zoho CRM on the same day
• Draft email templates for different customer segments and test them
• Identify possible partners such as agencies, colleges or resellers and list them with contact details
• Track daily and weekly targets in a shared sheet
• Join demo calls as note taker and send the summary to the prospect afterwards
• Research prospects before calls: company size, current tools, likely pain points

What we're looking for:

• Based in the US for the duration of the internship
• Available 40 hours a week for the full internship
• Good internet connection that can handle video calls
• Basic MS Excel or Google Sheets skills
• Able to take rejection without taking it personally
• Interest in B2B sales or SaaS products
• Clear spoken and written English. Hindi, Urdu or another local language is a plus for some markets

Nice to have:

What you get out of it:

• Pre-placement offer for interns who consistently meet targets
• End-to-end B2B sales process from prospecting to closing
• How to use a CRM properly, which most fresh graduates never learn
• Cold calling and objection handling, with call reviews from the sales manager
