About the Role
ResQBag is on a mission to reduce food waste by connecting surplus food from restaurants and vendors with everyday consumers. As a Founder's Office Sales Intern, you'll work in close partnership with the founding team to drive vendor and restaurant acquisition, own conversations end-to-end, and directly shape how ResQBag builds its early supply-side network. This is a high-ownership, high-visibility role for someone who wants to learn how sales strategy is built from the ground up, not just executed.
Key Responsibilities
- Identify, approach, and onboard restaurants and food vendors as surplus-food partners for ResQBag
- Pitch ResQBag's value proposition to prospective partners and close onboarding conversations
- Build and maintain a pipeline of leads, tracking outreach status and conversion at each stage
- Work directly with the founders to refine sales scripts, pitch decks, and onboarding flows based on ground feedback
- Conduct on-ground and on-call outreach to restaurants, cafes, bakeries, and food vendors in and around Bangalore
- Gather market and competitor insights from vendor conversations to sharpen ResQBag's positioning
- Coordinate with the operations and marketing teams to ensure a smooth handoff of onboarded partners
- Maintain accurate records of outreach, conversions, and partner feedback for weekly review with the founders
Required Qualifications
- Currently pursuing or recently completed a degree in Business, Marketing, Sales, or a related field
- No prior sales experience mandatory, but any exposure to sales, business development, or client-facing roles is a plus
Required Skills & Competencies
- Strong verbal communication and persuasion skills
- Comfort with cold outreach and in-person pitching
- Self-starter attitude with the ability to work with minimal supervision
- Basic proficiency with spreadsheets (Excel/Google Sheets) for pipeline tracking
- Resilience and consistency in the face of rejection — sales at an early-stage startup requires persistence
- Willingness to travel locally within Bangalore for vendor meetings
