About Datastraw

Datastraw Technologies is an AI operating company that helps modern businesses scale through a combination of people, technology, data, automation and AI. We currently specialise in customer experience (CX), helping brands manage and improve their customer interactions across channels while building the systems and AI-powered solutions that make their operations faster, more efficient and scalable.

We are looking for individuals who want to understand how businesses grow, acquire clients, and build lasting business relationships.

About the Role

As a Business Development Intern, you will work directly with the founder to identify potential clients, build prospect pipelines, conduct outreach, and support client acquisition initiatives.

This is a hands-on opportunity to learn B2B sales and business development by working on real business opportunities, taking initiative, and contributing to Datastraw's growth.

PPO Opportunity: This is a 6-month internship and high-performing interns may be considered for a Pre-Placement Offer based on their performance, initiative, and overall contribution.

Key Responsibilities

• Research D2C brands, e-commerce businesses, and potential markets to identify relevant prospects and decision-makers.
• Reach out to prospective clients through email, phone calls, and LinkedIn to introduce Datastraw's services and explore business opportunities.
• Draft professional outreach emails, manage follow-ups, respond to enquiries, and coordinate meetings with potential clients.
• Build and maintain lead databases, outreach trackers, and communication records to monitor progress.
• Research competitors, industry trends, and potential opportunities to improve prospecting and outreach strategies.
• Work closely with the founder on client acquisition initiatives, prepare presentations and outreach material, and share ideas to improve business development efforts.

What We're Looking For

• A genuine interest in business development, sales, or marketing.
• Strong verbal and written communication skills, including professional email writing.
• Confidence in approaching new people and initiating business conversations.
• Good research, organisational, and follow-up skills.
• Basic knowledge of MS Excel or Google Sheets.
• A proactive mindset, willingness to learn, and the ability to take ownership of assigned responsibilities.
• Openness to feedback and the ability to work independently when required.

Freshers are welcome to apply. Previous experience in sales, lead generation, tele-calling, or email outreach is an advantage, but not mandatory.

What You'll Gain

• Hands-on experience in B2B sales, lead generation, and client acquisition.
• Exposure to real business development activities and decision-making.
• Direct mentorship and learning opportunities while working with the founder.
• The opportunity to contribute ideas, take initiative, and understand how a growing business acquires clients.
