Sales Intern

About the Role

We're looking for a motivated Sales Intern to get hands-on exposure to the early stages of the sales cycle. This is a good fit if you're curious about a career in sales or business development and want to learn how deals actually get built, from first outreach to a qualified conversation. You'll work closely with the sales team, supporting outreach, lead research, and CRM upkeep, and you'll get to sit in on real client calls.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead research: Identify and research prospects and companies that fit our target customer profile.
• Outreach support: Help with outbound outreach via email and LinkedIn to generate interest and set up conversations.
• Cold calling (assisted): Support cold calling under guidance, and gradually take on calls independently as your confidence grows.
• CRM data entry: Log leads, interactions, and call notes accurately in the CRM so pipeline data stays current.
• Follow-up support: Help track and follow up on open conversations so no lead goes cold.
• Learning & shadowing: Shadow senior sales calls to see how conversations are pitched, objections are handled, and deals progress.

Requirements & Tech Stack

• Recently completed a degree (any stream)
• A go-getter attitude and genuine curiosity about sales
• Good verbal and written communication skills in English
• Comfort with basic digital tools (email, spreadsheets, LinkedIn)
• Willingness to make calls and put yourself out there, even without prior experience
• Organized, reliable, and attentive to detail

Good to Have

• Any exposure to sales, customer service, or client-facing work (including college projects or events)
• Familiarity with CRM tools (HubSpot, Zoho, Salesforce or similar)

What you'll gain

• Hands-on exposure to how B2B sales conversations are built and won
• Direct mentorship from the sales team, including senior leadership
• A working understanding of CRM tools and pipeline management
• A potential pathway to a full-time sales role
