About the role


As a Sales & Account Management Intern, you’ll have the opportunity to develop essential sales skills while supporting our team in acquiring new customers in the Benelux region.

  • Pipeline Management: Develop skills in CRM management by helping to maintain and update the pipeline of leads, logging client interactions, and ensuring timely follow-ups.

  • Customer Relationship Building: Begin to build relationships with clients under the guidance of a mentor, learning how to serve as a trusted advisor for their needs and advocate on their behalf within the company.

  • Negotiations and Closing: Assist with preparing proposals, observing negotiations, and supporting deal closures. You’ll gain an understanding of the techniques used to address objections and achieve sales targets.

  • Market Research: Learn how to conduct basic market research, keeping informed about industry trends, competitors, and potential client needs to support the sales strategy.
