Sales Development Representative Intern — Mid-Market

ABOUT LIFIE AI

Backed by angel investors and experienced enterprise technology leaders, Lifie AI has crossed $120K in ARR and is continuing to grow. We are running pilots with NASDAQ-listed enterprises and building vendor and technology partnerships with multiple enterprise platforms.

We work with businesses across India, North America, and other global markets. We are now expanding our sales team and looking for a fresher SDR Intern focused on mid-market accounts, who wants to learn outbound sales from the ground up and help us build a consistent, predictable pipeline.

ABOUT THE ROLE

We are hiring a Sales Development Representative Intern to focus on mid-market accounts — companies with multiple stakeholders, longer evaluation cycles, and higher deal value than SMB. You'll identify target accounts, map decision-makers, engage multiple stakeholders per account, 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 qualified meetings with mid-market companies across the North American and Indian markets through cold calling, email, LinkedIn, and structured, multi-touch follow-up.

You will work directly with the founders and have visibility into the complete sales process, from account research and multi-stakeholder outreach 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 mid-market target companies, org structures, and multiple decision-makers per account

- Build and maintain mid-market prospect lists across North America and India

- Run outbound outreach through cold calls, email, and LinkedIn, tailored to longer, multi-stakeholder deal cycles

- Learn to qualify prospects based on their needs, urgency, authority, and fit

- Book qualified discovery meetings and product demos

- Follow structured, multi-touch outreach cadences and manage follow-ups consistently across several stakeholders per account

- 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, including navigating accounts with multiple stakeholders

- Detail-oriented, organized, and able to manage multiple accounts, contacts, and follow-ups at once

- Comfortable working with daily activity targets

- Prior exposure to CRM or prospecting tools (HubSpot, Apollo, LinkedIn 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're comfortable with longer sales cycles and mapping multiple stakeholders in an account

- You continuously test and improve your approach

- You are comfortable working in a fast-moving startup environment

- You want to grow into a full-time Sales Development Representative, and eventually an Account Executive or closing role

- Stipend: ₹15,000–₹30,000/month during the internship, based on interview performance and fit

- Performance-based increase: exceptional performers can move up to ₹8 LPA CTC on conversion to a full-time role — this is not automatic, it's earned through consistent pipeline and meeting-quality results during the internship
