About the internship:

About Craste

At Craste, we turn crop residue into sustainable, high-performance engineered materials manufacturing green, circular, and certified tree-free boards for modern architecture and interior infrastructure. We are scaling rapidly across distribution and B2B channels to replace conventional boards with eco-friendly, zero-toxic solutions.

1. Role Overview

We are looking for a relentless, proactive Sales Intern who loves being where the business actually happens. You will not be sitting behind a desk sending template emails all day. Instead, you will be on the front lines: mapping local markets, cold-calling architects, contractors, and timber/plywood dealers, and walking into commercial design studios and retail hubs to present Craste board samples and book product trials.

2. What You Will Do

• Field Visits & Showroom Pitches: Conduct in-person visits to architectural firms, commercial interior contractors, and prominent plywood/board dealers to deliver material kits and product presentations.
• Outbound Cold Calling: Build daily calling pipelines (30-40 dials/day) targeting specifiers, procurement heads, and dealers to qualify requirements and lock in demo meetings.
• Sample Kit Distribution & Follow-ups: Hand-deliver curated product sample boxes, track sampling feedback, and convert initial interest into trial orders.
• Lead Qualification & CRM Hygiene: Maintain up-to-date daily logs of dealer feedback, specifier objections, site contact numbers, and follow-up timelines in our CRM/tracking sheet.
• Market Intelligence: Gather intelligence on competitor pricing, dealer margins, and builder material preferences in your assigned zone.

3. What We Are Looking For

• Fresh graduate or final-year student (Business, Architecture, Civil Engineering, or Marketing preferred, but grit matters more than your major).
• Exceptional communication and persuasion skills in English and [Local Language / Hindi].
• High resilience: You view objections and gatekeepers as puzzles to solve, not personal rejections.
• Willingness to travel locally across timber markets, construction hubs, and design districts (two-wheeler + driving license is a huge plus).
• Basic proficiency in Google Sheets / Excel and CRM tools.

4. Perks & Benefits

• Real ownership in a venture-backed climate-tech startup.
• Performance-based monthly deal incentives on closed dealer sign-ups or project specs.
• High conversion potential into a full-time Business Development Executive (BDE) role based on performance.
• Letter of Recommendation and direct mentorship from company leadership.

Who can apply:

Only those candidates can apply who:

• are available for full time (in-office) internship
• can start the internship between 26th Oct'26 and 30th Nov'26
• are available for duration of 4 months
• are from Bangalore only
• have relevant skills and interests
• Women wanting to start/restart their career can also apply.

Stipend: INR₹ 10,500 - 20,000 /month

Deadline: 2026-11-25 23:59:59

Other perks: Certificate, Letter of recommendation, Informal dress code, Job offer

Skills required: Networking, MS-Excel, Client Relationship Management (CRM), English Proficiency (Spoken), Interpersonal skills and Effective Communication

Other Requirements:

1. A. Preferred Qualifications Criteria: Background in Architecture, Interior Design, Civil Engineering, Wood Technology, or Packaging/Materials Science. Candidates from these fields instantly understand technical terms like density, screw-holding strength, warping, and BOQs without weeks of onboarding. Alternatively, business/commerce students with prior experience in college fest sponsorship drives, cold fundraising, or event ticketing—where they have already faced repeated cold rejection.
2. B. Mobility & Logistical Readiness: Own a two-wheeler with a valid driver’s license: Essential for navigating congested timber markets, industrial estates, and multiple design studio clusters across the city within a single day.
