Client Acquisition Intern

On the client acquisition side, you would look for businesses that could become clients, get in touch, pitch to them and build a working relationship. Part of the job is chasing those leads until they turn into real opportunities.

The post also describes two neighbouring areas where interns could fit. One is growing Sortedd's vendor network: finding and assessing service partners, negotiating on price and service terms, and onboarding them so the network can be relied on.

The third is operations. That means coordinating and carrying out client requests, keeping timelines, vendors and follow-ups on track, and sorting out problems so delivery goes smoothly.

The post says academic background matters less than willingness to learn and deliver, so it does not name a degree or stream.

• Strong communication in both Hindi and English. Other languages are a bonus.
• Discipline, accountability and a strong sense of ownership.
• Curiosity, initiative and real interest in building something in a startup.

The base is Gurugram on a hybrid arrangement. The internship runs for 6 months, and Sortedd wants someone who can join immediately. The stipend is performance-based, and no amount is stated.

• Have a short example ready of a time you persuaded someone, whether in a college society, a fest sponsorship or a part-time job. Client work is mostly about reaching out and following up.
• Be ready to show you can switch comfortably between Hindi and English, since both are asked for. Mention any extra language you speak.
• Think of a time you owned something from start to finish and chased it when it stalled. That speaks directly to the ownership and follow-up this role needs.
• Practise a two-line pitch for any product you like. Negotiation and outreach both come down to being clear and brief.
• Since you may be placed in any of three areas, say which one interests you most and why.
