About the Role

Astra Agents is looking for energetic, ambitious and result-oriented Sales & Business Development Interns to help us expand our presence among mid-market businesses.

This is not a conventional work-from-home internship focused only on researching companies or generating databases. It is a practical, customer-facing business development role.

Interns will work remotely for prospecting, outreach, follow-ups and sales coordination. They will also be expected to visit prospective customers at their offices within their assigned location.

Each intern will be assigned an experienced senior team member as an on-the-job buddy. The buddy will help the intern understand and participate in the complete B2B sales cycle—from identifying prospects and initiating conversations to attending meetings, conducting product demonstrations, following up and supporting deal closures.

High-performing interns may be offered a full-time role after successfully completing the three-month internship.

Key Responsibilities

- Identify and research potential mid-market customers in the assigned location.
- Build and maintain a database of relevant companies and business decision-makers.
- Reach out to prospective customers through calls, email, LinkedIn, WhatsApp and other appropriate channels.
- Introduce Astra Agents and communicate its business value to prospective customers.
- Qualify leads by understanding their business, hiring, customer engagement or workflow requirements.
- Schedule meetings and product demonstrations with relevant decision-makers.
- Visit prospective customers at their offices in Lucknow, Delhi, Noida or Gurugram.
- Attend selected customer meetings with senior sales team members.
- Support the senior sales team during discovery calls, product demonstrations and follow-up conversations.
- Maintain regular follow-ups with prospects until a clear outcome is achieved.
- Update lead, meeting, follow-up and opportunity information in the company’s CRM or tracking system.
- Prepare meeting notes, prospect summaries, sales presentations and other supporting material.
- Collect market feedback, competitor insights and customer requirements.
- Work towards assigned weekly and monthly activity and business development targets.
- Support the team in moving qualified opportunities through the sales pipeline.

What You Will Learn During the internship, you will receive practical exposure to:
- B2B and SaaS sales.
- Artificial intelligence and automation products.




- Mid-market customer acquisition.
- Prospect research and lead generation.
- Cold calling and outbound communication.
- Discovery conversations and customer qualification.
- Product presentations and demonstrations.

The buddy will

- Help the intern understand the product, customer segments and target market.

- Help prepare the intern for customer calls and meetings.
- Join selected customer meetings and product demonstrations.
- Provide regular feedback and coaching.
