Business Development Intern
Soft Suave Technologies in Bangalore is taking on Business Development Interns for its IT Sales team, and the internship is paid. The company wants people who can join immediately, so timing matters here.
What the internship involves
The work centres on reaching out to potential clients for the company's IT services. You will make outbound cold calls, and also look for leads through LinkedIn, email outreach and online research.
Once a prospect is in touch, you introduce the services, follow up, and look for business opportunities. You also schedule client meetings for the Business Development team.
Record keeping is part of the job too: you maintain lead databases and track the calling activity you do each day.
Who can apply and what is expected
Freshers and recent graduates are welcome. The post asks for:
- Good verbal and written communication
- Confidence in cold calling and talking to clients
- Interest in IT sales, lead generation and business development
- A positive attitude and willingness to learn
Candidates who can join immediately are preferred. The role is based in Bengaluru.

How to prepare
- Practise speaking about a service in under a minute, clearly and without reading from a script. Cold calling rewards a calm, direct opening.
- Get comfortable writing short, polite professional emails, since email outreach is part of the work.
- Learn to search for companies and people online and note down what you find in an organised way. Lead research depends on this.
- Be ready to explain why IT sales interests you, with an example of any time you persuaded or helped someone.
- Try keeping a simple spreadsheet of contacts and daily call counts, as the role asks for this kind of tracking.
