Inside Sales - Internship
SmartEd Innovations is hiring inside sales interns in Bangalore, with 15 openings for a six-month, in-office stint. The stipend runs from ₹27,000 to ₹38,000 a month, which is well above what similar internships in the city usually pay.
How the stipend compares
At ₹27,000 to ₹38,000 a month, this pays well above typical for internships in the same field in Bangalore. The pay is split into a fixed part of ₹17,000 to ₹18,000 and an incentive part of ₹10,000 to ₹20,000, so the higher figures depend on the incentive. If you convert to a permanent role, the post mentions a salary of ₹400000 to 800000 a year.
What you would be doing as an inside sales intern
The job is selling, start to finish, from the early groundwork onward. You research the market to find potential clients and build up leads, then follow up on those leads and keep the relationships with prospects going.
You also support the sales team with the paperwork of selling: drafting and sending proposals and presentations, and helping build pitches and materials that explain what the company offers. You sit in on sales meetings and are expected to contribute ideas on how to close deals. Alongside that, you work with the marketing team on campaigns meant to drive sales.
Negotiation is the skill the post keeps returning to. You are meant to learn negotiation tactics and use them to win new business, and you will be speaking English with potential clients throughout.

Ways to stand out before you apply
- Practise explaining something in clear, spoken English in under a minute. Spoken English is one of the three skills named, so expect it to matter.
- Think of a time you persuaded someone or negotiated, even informally, such as a college event, a club budget or a group project. Be ready to describe it briefly.
- Pick a company and try writing a short pitch for it, then list five types of businesses that might buy from it. This is the same kind of groundwork as lead research.
- Look at how a follow-up message is worded. Polite, short and specific tends to read better than long and vague.
- Be clear in your own head about the full six months, in the office, so you can answer questions on availability without hesitation.
