Business Development (Sales) Internship - Remote

About the Internship

This internship offers a hands-on role in business development focused on sales outreach and client engagement from a remote setting. Selected interns will conduct comprehensive research on coworking spaces, shared-workspace operators, accelerators, incubators, university entrepreneurship programs, foundations, and corporate innovation teams. They will identify key decision-makers such as founders, program directors, incubation managers, operations heads, community managers, and innovation leaders. Interns will build segmented prospect lists for the CoworkOS and CohortOS platforms using various professional channels and verify contact information to maintain accurate records.

Daily tasks involve crafting personalized email and LinkedIn messages tailored to each organization’s programs and operational challenges, executing outreach via approved communication channels, and consistently following up to nurture promising leads. Interns will qualify prospects through preliminary discussions, arrange discovery calls and product demonstrations, and support the founding team with preparation and post-demo activities. Maintaining detailed CRM records, tracking communication history, and managing pipeline stages are key responsibilities.

They will also explore possible partnership opportunities with startup communities, industry bodies, coworking networks, and university entrepreneurship cells. Documenting customer feedback such as objections, competitor insights, feature requests, and market trends will inform future outreach efforts. Weekly reviews of outreach metrics will guide continuous improvement of subject lines, messaging, customer segmentation, and follow-up sequences.
