We are looking for Sales & Outreach Interns to help build PlotArmour Studio's client pipeline.
You will research businesses, identify relevant prospects, find decision-makers, conduct personalized outreach, follow up with prospects and help move qualified opportunities from the first conversation toward meetings and eventual conversion.
The role currently focuses on acquiring clients for two areas:
PlotArmour Studio: custom online and digital systems for businesses, including websites, applications, portals, e-commerce, automation, integrations and other technology solutions.
Verity: business operations software for organizations that need better ways to manage interconnected workflows, data and processes.
This is an execution-heavy role. You will be expected to take ownership of a pipeline rather than simply compile lead lists.
Selected intern's day-to-day responsibilities
- Research businesses and identify relevant potential clients.
- Identify founders, owners, directors and other appropriate decision-makers.
- Understand each prospect before approaching them and identify a genuine business problem or opportunity.
- Build and maintain a structured prospect pipeline.
- Conduct personalized outreach through LinkedIn, email and other approved channels.
- Write and test first-contact and follow-up messages.
- Follow up consistently without resorting to generic or spam-based outreach.
- Handle initial prospect conversations and understand their requirements.
- Qualify opportunities for PlotArmour Studio, Verity, or both.
- Coordinate discovery calls and meetings with the appropriate PlotArmour team members.
- Maintain complete records of prospects, outreach, responses and next actions in the company's internal system.
- Support proposal preparation with prospect research and meeting context.
- Work against individual and team-level weekly acquisition targets.
- Submit daily work updates and participate in weekly performance reviews.
- Experiment with industries, prospecting methods and outreach approaches to improve conversion.
Who we're looking for
We are looking for someone who is:
- Confident communicating with people they don't know.
- Robust at written English and professional communication.
- Comfortable with LinkedIn, email and online research.
- Persistent and disciplined with follow-ups.
- Able to research a business before pitching.
- Commercially curious and interested in understanding how businesses work.
- Comfortable working with targets and measurable outcomes.
- Organized enough to maintain an accurate pipeline.
- Able to work independently in a remote environment.
- Willing to learn from unsuccessful outreach and continuously improve.
Previous sales experience is useful, but not mandatory. Strong research, communication, ownership and willingness to execute matter more.
Compensation
I'd write this section very carefully:
Performance-linked stipend: ₹20,000 per month upon meeting the minimum monthly eligibility criterion of 4 qualifying client closures. A client is considered successfully closed only once PlotArmour has received the required advance payment from that client. After meeting the minimum eligibility criterion of 4 qualifying client closures, the intern additionally earns a 10% performance incentive on the value of every qualifying client closed thereafter, subject to PlotArmour's lead attribution and payment verification process. Leads generated, replies, meetings, proposals or verbal confirmations by themselves do not constitute a client closure.
You should also decide one thing before publishing: what happens at 0, 1, 2, or 3 closures? If the answer is ₹0 stipend, say that explicitly. Ambiguity here will create disputes later.
Also clarify whether the first four deals receive only the ₹20,000 stipend and the 10% commission starts with deal #5. Based on what you wrote, that appears to be the intended structure.
Example earnings
This is useful, but I'd keep it out of the main listing unless Internshala provides an incentives field.
Suppose an intern closes 5 qualifying clients in a month:
Minimum eligibility achieved: 4 clients
Performance-linked stipend: ₹20,000
If the fifth client's project value is ₹1,00,000:
Additional incentive: ₹10,000
Total: ₹30,000
If they close six ₹1 lakh clients, and commission applies to deals #5 and #6:
₹20,000 stipend + ₹20,000 incentive = ₹40,000
This makes the upside understandable without implying guaranteed earnings.
Perks
For Internshala's perks/options, I'd select only those you genuinely provide. Suitable ones could be:
Certificate • Letter of recommendation based on performance • Flexible work hours • 5 days a week • Performance incentives
I would not promise a PPO unless you're actually prepared to offer one.
Skills required
For Internshala's skills section:
Sales, Business Development, Lead Generation, LinkedIn Marketing, Email Marketing, Effective Communication, Market Research, English Proficiency (Written), English Proficiency (Spoken), CRM
Don't overfill the skill list with irrelevant tools.
Who can apply
Candidates should apply only if they:
- Can work remotely and consistently during the internship period.
- Are comfortable with prospect research, outreach, follow-ups and client conversations.
- Can commit to maintaining accurate daily records of their work and pipeline.
- Are comfortable working in a performance-oriented client acquisition role.
- Have strong written and verbal communication skills.
Students, recent graduates and candidates from any academic background can apply if they can demonstrate the required communication, research and commercial skills.
Pay: From ₹20,000.00 per month
Application Question(s):
- Pick one business you believe PlotArmour Studio could approach as a potential client. Share the business and explain in 2–3 sentences why you selected it.
- Write the first LinkedIn or email message you would send to the founder/owner of that business. Keep it under 100 words.
- You send outreach to 30 relevant businesses and receive no replies. What would you examine or change before contacting the next 30?
