Business Development (Sales) Internship
This is a remote business development (sales) internship at IETCL, where you would handle enquiries from prospective learners and build new leads for its programmes. Pay runs from ₹8,500 to ₹23,000 a month, which is well above typical for remote internships in the same field.
What the stipend looks like
The range of ₹8,500 to ₹23,000 a month is well above typical for remote internships in the same field. It is split into a fixed part of ₹7,500 - 8,000 and an incentive part of ₹1,000 - 15,000, so what you take home at the upper end depends on the incentive.
What you would be doing as a sales intern at IETCL
A large part of the job is talking to people who are interested in IETCL's learning programmes. You would reply to them by email, through the website and on social channels, work out what they need, and suggest the programmes that fit. You would then stay in touch with them as they move towards enrolment.
You would also go looking for new leads yourself, using LinkedIn, email and professional networks. The work includes helping grow the certification courses, masterclasses and wider professional programmes, and spotting and qualifying corporate training opportunities. Once a corporate opportunity is qualified, you pass it to the IETCL leadership team.
On the working side, you would keep leads, follow-ups and opportunities up to date in the CRM, work with the marketing team on leads from their campaigns, and track your own pipeline, conversions and results.
