Sales Intern - Lead Generation

BeamForward · India

ABOUT BEAMFORWARD

BeamForward LLP is a Bengaluru-based talent advisory and GCC Advisory firm helping global organizations build and scale their India talent strategy — spanning executive search, market research, and Global Capability Centre (GCC) build-outs. We work closely with GCC and enterprise clients to design and deliver their India hiring engine.

ROLE OVERVIEW

As a Sales Intern, you will support BeamForward’s business development function with a primary focus on lead generation and disciplined maintenance of lead records across our two core business lines — GCC Advisory and Talent Advisory Services. This is a hands-on, output-driven role suited to someone who is organized, curious about B2B sales, and comfortable working with data and outreach in equal measure.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

• Identify and research prospective clients across the GCC and Talent Advisory segments through LinkedIn, company websites, industry databases, and news sources.
• Build and continuously enrich a qualified lead pipeline, capturing accurate company, contact, and context details.
• Maintain and update the CRM / lead tracker on a daily basis — lead status, follow-up dates, source, and next actions.
• Support outbound outreach efforts, including drafting LinkedIn messages, cold emails, and follow-up sequences under guidance from the leadership team.
• Track engagement and response rates, and flag warm leads for handover to senior team members.
• Assist in organizing and cleaning historical lead and account data to improve pipeline visibility and reporting.
• Coordinate with the Talent Advisory and delivery teams to stay current on active client accounts, target sectors, and ideal customer profiles.
• Prepare simple weekly trackers/summaries of lead generation activity and pipeline movement for review by founders.

WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR

• Pursuing or recently completed a degree in Business, Marketing, Commerce, or a related field.
• Strong written English and comfort with professional client-facing communication.
• Working knowledge of MS Excel/Google Sheets; familiarity with a CRM tool is a plus, not mandatory.
• Curiosity about B2B sales, staffing/RPO, or the GCC ecosystem in India.
• Detail-oriented and comfortable with repetitive, data-hygiene tasks — accurate records matter as much as new leads.
• Self-starter who can work with light supervision and proactively flag questions or blockers.

WHAT YOU'LL GAIN

• Direct exposure to how a talent advisory and GCC consulting business builds and manages its sales pipeline.
• Mentorship from BeamForward's founders and senior advisory team.
• A working understanding of the GCC and RPO landscape in India — sectors, structures, and client priorities.
• An internship certificate and a letter of recommendation based on performance.
