Sales Intern

About us

Most engagements run three to nine months, with a small team on site part of the week.

The internship

Heronport Consulting is hiring business development interns to find and qualify new leads, run outreach and support the sales team on calls. Fully remote, target-based work. This role is fully remote within Ireland. Most of our work is async, and meetings are kept short. You get a company laptop and a headset before you start.

What you'll do

• Follow up with leads who have gone quiet, using approved email sequences
• Research prospects before calls: company size, current tools, likely pain points
• Update every interaction in HubSpot or Zoho CRM on the same day
• Prepare simple pitch decks and one-page proposals in Google Slides
• Track daily and weekly targets in a shared sheet
• Join demo calls as note taker and send the summary to the prospect afterwards
• Send personalised outreach messages on LinkedIn and email, 40 to 60 a day
• Make cold calls to qualified leads and book product demos for the sales manager

What we're looking for

• Available for the full internship period
• Eligible to work in Ireland
• Currently enrolled in a bachelor's or master's degree, graduating 2027
• Based in Ireland for the duration of the internship
• Clear spoken and written English. Hindi, Urdu or another local language is a plus for some markets
• Able to take rejection without taking it personally
• Self-motivated and okay with targets. Some weeks will be slow, and that is normal
• Laptop, headset with mic and a quiet place to take calls
• Comfortable making 30 or more calls a day

Bonus points

• Strong network in college clubs or startup communities
• Previous sales, telecalling or fundraising experience, even for a college event

What you'll learn

• End-to-end B2B sales process from prospecting to closing
• How to use a CRM properly, which most fresh graduates never learn
• Performance-based incentives on top of the stipend

Duration: 4 months

Start date: Immediately

Stipend: €16.50-€19.50 p/h

What we offer

• Mentoring from an experienced team member
• Laptop provided
• Reference on completion
• Graduate scheme fast-track interview
• Paid holiday accrued during the placement

Duration: 4 months. Start: Immediately.
