International Business Development & Sales Growth Associate

Company: IdeaNix

Work Mode: Remote / Hybrid

Experience: 0–2 years

Employment Type: Internship / Performance-Based Opportunity

Market: India + International Markets

We are looking for someone who can help us WIN business.

IdeaNix is looking for an ambitious, proactive and commercially minded International Business Development & Sales Growth Associate who wants hands-on experience in lead generation, B2B sales, proposal development, client acquisition, negotiation, deal closing and digital growth.

This is not a traditional sales-support internship.

We are looking for someone who can actively contribute to the complete business development cycle:

Research → Find Prospects → Generate Leads → Outreach → Qualify → Book Meetings → Understand Requirements → Prepare Proposals → Follow Up → Negotiate → Close

Alongside sales and business development, you will also contribute to IdeaNix's LinkedIn and Instagram growth, helping us build our brand, engage with the right audience and create opportunities through digital channels.

Your Mission

Your primary objective will be to generate qualified business opportunities and help convert them into paying IdeaNix clients.

You will work closely with the Founder and leadership team and gain direct exposure to real prospects, business conversations, proposals, negotiations and growth initiatives.

Key Responsibilities

1. Lead Generation & Prospecting

• Research and identify potential clients across India and international markets.
• Identify startups, founders, SMEs, enterprises, institutions and organizations that could benefit from IdeaNix.
• Research industries, companies, business models and potential use cases.
• Identify relevant decision-makers and stakeholders.
• Build and maintain targeted prospect lists.
• Continuously develop and grow the sales pipeline.

2. B2B Sales & Outreach

Actively approach potential clients through:

• LinkedIn
• Email
• Cold calling
• WhatsApp
• Founder and professional networks
• Startup communities
• Industry platforms
• Partnerships and referrals

You will create personalized outreach, initiate conversations, communicate IdeaNix's value proposition and convert prospects into qualified meetings.

The focus is on personalized and relevant outreach, not mass messaging or spam.

3. Lead Qualification

Understand whether a prospect is genuinely worth pursuing by evaluating:

• Business requirements
• Pain points
• Potential use cases
• Project scope
• Decision-making authority
• Commercial potential
• Timeline
• Business fit
• Probability of conversion

4. Discovery Calls & Client Meetings

Participate in conversations with potential clients to:

• Understand their business and challenges.
• Ask the right discovery questions.
• Identify business opportunities.
• Understand project requirements.

• Handle initial objections.
• Move qualified prospects toward the next stage.

The objective is not simply to have meetings.

5. Proposal Development

Help convert qualified opportunities into professional proposals.

You will:

• Understand client requirements.
• Coordinate internally to gather necessary information.
• Prepare proposals and presentations.
• Customize solutions according to client needs.
• Clearly communicate the value of IdeaNix.
• Track proposal status.
• Follow up with prospects until the opportunity is won, lost or disqualified.

6. Follow-Up, Negotiation & Deal Closing

This is a revenue-focused role.

Your responsibility does not stop when a proposal is sent.

You will:

• Maintain systematic follow-ups.
• Handle common sales objections.

• Maintain deal momentum.
• Support commercial negotiations.
• Coordinate with the Founder on important opportunities.
• Help move qualified prospects toward a final decision.

Our goal isn't simply more leads. Our goal is more business.

• Business and growth insights.

• Planning Reels and carousel content.
• Supporting content calendars.
