Overview

Skalegrow is a full-stack B2B marketing agency that helps companies in the IT, tech, SaaS, robotics, and embedded systems industries grow with marketing.

What You Will Do

Prospect Research & List Building

• Build targeted prospect lists using tools like Apollo.io across manufacturing, B2B SaaS, and overseas markets (US, UK, Singapore, UAE).
• Verify email contacts to 85%+ confidence before any outreach; maintain clean, tagged lists throughout.
• Research company profiles, decision-maker designations, and content maturity signals to prioritize outreach.

Cold Email Outreach

• Manage end-to-end cold email campaigns using tools like Instantly or Lemlist, including domain warm-up, sequence setup, reply monitoring, and performance tracking.
• Run 3-touch email sequences targeting CMOs, VPs of Marketing, and MDs across Indian and overseas B2B businesses.
• Track and report performance to ensure various campaigns help generate leads and meetings for Skalegrow.

Cold Calling

• Make 15–25 cold calls per day to marketing heads and MDs of IT, tech, SaaS, and manufacturing companies.
• Record every call, maintain a live objection log, and participate in weekly call review sessions.
• Hand over any warm or interested prospect to the sales team for detailed proposal discussions.

Pipeline & Reporting

• Maintain a Master Prospect Tracker with full call and email history, lead status, and next actions.
• Submit a structured weekly report every Friday covering calls made, emails sent, connect rates, reply rates, warm leads, and key observations.
• Document objections, messaging patterns, and vertical-level insights weekly into a shared playbook.

Handover & Retrospective

In Week 12, produce a clean handover package: all lists exported and tagged, all campaigns documented with performance data, and a Retrospective Report covering what worked, what didn't, and recommendations on how Skalegrow can improve its sales process.

What We Are Looking For

• Recently completed a Bachelor's degree (preferably a 2026 graduate).
• Strong written and spoken English.

• Organized and self-driven with the ability to take ownership of all tasks and activities.
• Prior internship experience in sales, business development, or marketing is preferred.

• Genuine curiosity about B2B marketing, content, and AI search and a willingness to learn.

What You Will Walk Away With

• End-to-end experience running a live outreach operation across Indian and international markets
• Direct mentorship from the founder and the opportunity to work with other teams including content, SEO, design, etc.
• Real client exposure with the chance to learn Skalegrow's active engagements with clients across IT, manufacturing, and SaaS.
• A portfolio of outreach work and measurable results (calls made, leads generated, meetings set) that you can speak to confidently in any future interview.
