About Owlera
Owlera is an AI-powered career platform that helps students and fresh graduates gain practical experience through internship simulations inspired by real companies.
Participants work on realistic business challenges, receive AI-powered feedback, use modern professional tools, and build portfolio-ready projects that demonstrate their abilities to future employers.
We're looking for energetic, persistent, and coachable students to join our Sales Development Internship and learn how great SDRs open doors — from prospecting and personalization to booking meetings that keep the pipeline full.
About the Internship
As a Sales Development (SDR) Intern, you'll work on realistic sales development scenarios — researching accounts, writing cold outreach, running discovery calls, and qualifying pipeline for realistic company scenarios.
You'll learn how modern SDRs operate — account research, personalized outreach at scale, multichannel sequencing, discovery frameworks, objection handling, and turning cold prospects into warm conversations.
Responsibilities
* Research target accounts and identify the right decision-makers to contact.
* Build ideal customer profile (ICP) fit lists using realistic firmographic data.
* Write personalized cold emails that earn replies, not just opens.
* Craft LinkedIn outreach sequences — connection requests, messages, and follow-ups.
* Make realistic cold-call simulations using discovery and qualification scripts.
* Run discovery conversations using frameworks like BANT, MEDDIC, or SPICED.
* Handle common objections with calm, consultative reframing.
* Score and prioritize leads so effort goes where it converts.
* Book qualified meetings and hand off clean notes to account executives.
* Build and manage multichannel cadences (email, phone, social) in a realistic CRM workflow.
* Track activity metrics: connects, replies, meetings booked, and conversion rates.
* A/B test subject lines, hooks, and calls-to-action on realistic outreach.
* Clean and enrich prospect data to keep the pipeline accurate.
* Collaborate with other interns on team-based pipeline sprints.
Requirements
* Current student or recent graduate in Business, Marketing, Communications, or a related field — or a strong self-taught portfolio of projects.
* Strong interest in sales development, prospecting, and outbound sales.
* Resilience and persistence — comfortable with rejection and motivated by targets.
* Clear, confident written and verbal communication.
* Curiosity about customers and a habit of researching before reaching out.
* Self-motivated and able to work independently under tight deadlines.
* Comfort using spreadsheets, CRMs, and outreach tools (or a fast learner).
* Previous sales experience is not required.
What You'll Gain
* Hands-on experience working like a sales development representative, not just theory.
* Practical skills in prospecting, cold outreach, and discovery conversations.
* Understanding of how SDRs build and qualify pipeline that converts.
* Practical exposure to CRM workflows, sequencing, and activity metrics.
* Portfolio-ready sales artifacts built on realistic business use cases.
* Personalized AI feedback on your work.
* Professional certificate upon successful completion.
* Mentorship and weekly learning sessions.
* Opportunity to strengthen your portfolio, resume, and interview readiness.
