ABOUT

THE ROLE

We are hiring a Sales Development Representative Intern to focus on small and mid-sized businesses (SMB) — high-volume outbound with faster decision cycles and shorter sales motions than mid-market or enterprise. You'll identify target accounts, engage decision-makers directly, qualify opportunities, and book meetings for our sales team.

This is a hybrid internship based in HSR, Bengaluru — freshers welcome, no prior sales experience required.

Your primary goal will be to learn and consistently generate a high volume of qualified meetings with small and growing businesses across the North American and Indian markets through cold calling, email, Linked In, and structured follow-up.

You will work directly with the founders and have visibility into the complete sales process, from prospecting and qualification to demos and deal closure.

Strong performers get a full-time offer at the end of the internship, with a revised salary and equity (see Compensation & Growth below).

WHAT YOU'LL DO

- Research SMB target companies, industries, and decision-makers
- Build and maintain high-volume SMB prospect lists across North America and India
- Run outbound outreach through cold calls, email, and Linked In at high activity volume
- Learn to qualify prospects quickly based on their needs, urgency, authority, and fit
- Book qualified discovery meetings and product demos
- Follow structured outreach cadences and manage follow-ups consistently across a high volume of prospects
- Maintain accurate prospect, activity, and pipeline data in the CRM
- Track key metrics including activity volume, response rates, meetings booked, and pipeline generated
- Test different messaging, industries, and outreach strategies under guidance from the founders and sales team
- Develop a strong understanding of Lifie AI's products, customers, and competitive positioning

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

- Freshers and final-year students welcome — no prior sales experience required
- Strong spoken and written English communication skills
- High energy, hustle, and resilience — comfortable making cold calls and handling rejection
- Curious, coachable, and eager to learn the fundamentals of B2B sales
- Detail-oriented, organized, and able to manage a high volume of prospects and follow-ups at once
- Comfortable working with daily activity targets
- Prior exposure to CRM or prospecting tools (Hub Spot, Apollo, Linked In Sales Navigator, or similar) is a plus, but not mandatory
- Interest in SaaS, AI, or technology sales is a plus
- Able to work hybrid out of our HSR, Bengaluru office

YOU'LL DO WELL IN THIS ROLE IF

- You take ownership instead of waiting for instructions
- You are disciplined about daily outreach and follow-ups
- You care about meeting quality, not just meeting volume
- You thrive on high-volume, fast-cycle outbound motion
- You continuously test and improve your approach
- You are comfortable…
