WHAT YOU WILL WORK ON

Your mission

Accelerate Emidat’s growth by acquiring new leads, being Emidat’s first face to the customer and building our predictable, repeatable revenue engine. Work closely with the Sales Development Rep and Account Executive on the go-to-market plan for the country.

As our Sales Intern, you will be driving our revenue pipeline focussing on the DACH market. In this role, you are the first face and voice to our customer, so this role is perfect if you love being around people and have a talent for convincing, understanding and solving their problems.

At Emidat, we see top-of-funnel as equally important if not more so than closing deals. Without leads, there is no revenue. We are searching for a hungry sales person, who is not scared of approaching people actively and being the face of Emidat. Your customers are manufacturers, so you shouldn’t be shy and bring a curiosity for material manufacturing and construction (note: we think visiting steel, cement and glass plants is the coolest thing in the world next to customers holding their product into the Teams call to show us how it’s done).

Your challenge:

Joining our sales development team involves:

  • Customer Pipeline Development: Build and nurture our customer pipeline, from initial prospecting to booking a demo.
  • Go-to-Market Strategy: Develop and fine-tune our go-to-market strategy, ensuring alignment with our company objectives.

  • Discovery Calls: Conduct your first discovery calls and schedule at least 20 demos
  • Demo Shadowing: Shadow at least 10 demos to learn how we close deals.
  • Plan and conduct your own outbound campaigns
  • Campaign Ownership: Design your own outbound campaign (incl. list, workflows and sequences). Plan and own 3 campaigns in total
  • RevOps: Analyze and improve email open/reply rates (target: 25%+ open rate, 5%+ reply rate)
  • Outbound prospecting: Execute on the campaigns (e.g. follow-up with calls, send emails/LinkedIn requests)
  • Get to know and improve our revenue engine design
  • CRM / RevOps Mastery: Become comfortable with our CRM and sales material
  • Sales Playbook & Objection Handling: Read through our sales playbook, as well as our objection- and competitor handling, start using it and suggest improvements
