Sales Intern

Who we are:

Started in 2003 out of a spare bedroom, the agency now has a small office downtown. Retainers start small, and many clients have stayed with us for years.

Overview:

The Business Development 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. Normal working hours, Monday to Friday. You will write a lot of updates, so clear written English is important.

Responsibilities:

• Send personalised outreach messages on LinkedIn and email, 40 to 60 a day
• Research prospects before calls: company size, current tools, likely pain points
• Attend the daily sales huddle on Zoom
• Draft email templates for different customer segments and test them
• Share feedback from prospects with the product and marketing teams
• Prepare simple pitch decks and one-page proposals in Google Slides
• Make cold calls to qualified leads and book product demos for the sales manager

What we're looking for:

• Currently enrolled in a bachelor's or master's program, graduating 2028
• Based in the US for the duration of the internship
• Authorized to work in the US. CPT and OPT candidates are welcome to apply
• Self-motivated and okay with targets. Some weeks will be slow, and that is normal
• Basic MS Excel or Google Sheets skills
• Clear spoken and written English. Hindi, Urdu or another local language is a plus for some markets
• Interest in B2B sales or SaaS products

What you get out of it:

• Performance-based incentives on top of the stipend
• Pre-placement offer for interns who consistently meet targets
• You will own your own pipeline numbers by the second month

Duration: 12 weeks

Start date: Jan 2027

Stipend: $20.00 - $24.50/hr

What we offer:

• Paid company holidays
• Mentorship from a dedicated buddy and manager
• Return offer opportunities
• Learning and development stipend
• Home office setup stipend

No agencies or third-party recruiters, please.

Duration: 12 weeks. Start: Jan 2027.
