Business Development Intern (Unpaid)

About the Role

• A hands-on, performance-driven internship, not a passive or observational one.
• You will own your own pipeline from prospecting through to signed agreements, including:
• Researching potential clients.
• Reaching out and following up.
• Developing tailored proposals.
• Coordinating with your manager.

Key Responsibilities

• Be self-driven and resilient, taking ownership of your pipeline and not letting rejection slow you down.
• Be a strong communicator, organized, detail-oriented, and clear in your outreach.
• Be persistent and process-disciplined with consistent follow-through.
• Be curious and collaborative, with a genuine interest in the work and learning from the team.
• Be independent and outreach-ready, comfortable with cold outreach.

Requirements & Tech Stack

• Time commitment: Around 5 hours per week.
• Responsiveness: Reply to team communications within 48 hours.
• Client project minimum: Close at least one client project per month.
• Your first may reasonably take 5–7 weeks.
• Meetings & reporting: Attend onboarding and weekly team meetings.
• Keep your manager updated.
• Treat this internship with the same professionalism as a paid role.

Qualifications

• Prior sales experience is a plus, not a requirement.
• Voluntary, unpaid internship designed for students and recent graduates.
