About PENUELCapital

PENUELCapital is a fractional CFO services firm that specializes in business funding success for small and medium-sized businesses across the United States. We help business owners properly position their companies for capital access and long-term growth through structured coaching programs, strategic consultations, and CFO-level financial positioning.

We work directly with business owners to address corporate entity structure, financial readiness, and funding strategy, ensuring they are prepared to pursue traditional business funding opportunities responsibly and effectively.

We are building a performance-driven, professional sales culture grounded in integrity, accountability, and growth.

Internship Overview

We are seeking Sales Development Interns to join our team for a 6-month, full-time, on-site internship. This role is ideal for motivated individuals who want real-world sales experience, exposure to business funding strategy, and the opportunity to transition into a full-time role upon successful completion.

This is not a remote role.

Schedule:
Monday – Friday, 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM

Location:
8080 N Central Expressway, Suite 1700

  • Educate prospects at a high level about PENUELCapital’s foundational business funding coaching program
  • Maintain accurate notes and updates within our CRM
  • Learn professional sales communication, objection handling, and consultative positioning
  • Consistently meet activity and performance benchmarks set by the sales team

You will not be cold calling random lists—leads are pre-qualified based on business intent data.
