Business Development & Sales Intern

About the Role

At Monk Industries, sales is not about convincing people to buy, it’s about understanding their needs, building trust, solving problems, and helping clients find the right solutions.

We’re looking for ambitious, energetic, and people-oriented individuals who want to build a career in Business Development, Sales, Client Acquisition, and Relationship Management. This internship offers hands-on exposure to the complete B2B sales lifecycle, from prospecting and outreach to discovery, proposals, negotiations, relationship management, and deal closure.

If you enjoy talking to people, understanding business challenges, solving problems, and contributing directly to growth, this opportunity is for you.

- Prepare quotations, proposals, and presentations with guidance from senior team members.
