Sales Intern

About the Role

We are looking for a Sales Intern to join our commercial team in Pune. This is a hands-on internship for someone in their final year of study or newly graduated who wants real exposure to how deals actually get won, not a summer of shadowing. You will support the sales team on live opportunities — research, outreach, and the unglamorous groundwork that a good pipeline runs on — with a mentor checking your work, not doing it for you. Strong performers are offered a full-time role at the end of the internship.

Key Responsibilities

• Research prospective clients and build qualified contact lists for the sales team to work
• Support outbound outreach by email and phone under the guidance of a senior salesperson
• Log all activity and prospect information accurately in the CRM
• Help prepare sales decks, proposals, and follow-up materials for client meetings
• Sit in on client calls and meetings, taking notes that the team can act on
• Track responses to outreach campaigns and flag what is and is not working
• Assist with basic market and competitor research to support pitch preparation
• Follow up on inbound enquiries promptly and route them to the right person
• Present a summary of what you learned to the sales team at the end of the internship

Requirements

• Currently pursuing or recently completed a degree in Business, Marketing, or a related field
• Clear written and spoken communication in English
• Comfortable making outbound calls and handling early rejection without losing momentum
• Basic comfort with spreadsheets and a willingness to learn a CRM
• Organised, with attention to detail in how leads and follow-ups are tracked
• Curiosity about how a sales process actually works, beyond the pitch
• Available for a full-time internship based in Pune

What We Offer

• A stipend benchmarked to market rates for sales internships in Pune
• A defined path to a full-time offer for interns who perform well
• Direct mentoring from senior sales staff on real client accounts
• Hands-on exposure to the full sales cycle, not shadow work
• Hybrid working with flexible hours around core collaboration time
• A small team where your contributions are visible and credited
