Business Development Intern

Role: Sales Intern – Agentix (Hunter Role)

Agentix is building the Plaid of agentic commerce, enabling e‑commerce platforms and ISVs to plug into agentic checkout protocols so AI agents can transact seamlessly across channels. We are hiring a Sales Intern with a pure hunter mindset to help us land new e‑commerce platforms and merchants as early customers.​

Mission

The Sales Intern will build and own the early outbound sales engine: sourcing new e‑commerce platforms and merchants, engaging decision‑makers, and closing initial deals for Agentix (with full training and support).​

Key Responsibilities

• Identify and prioritize target lists of e‑commerce platforms, ISVs, and merchants that would benefit from agentic commerce capabilities (GMV scale, category fit, tech readiness).​
• Run outbound prospecting: cold email, LinkedIn, and other channels to create first meetings with founders, product leaders, and payments/commercial leads.
• Conduct discovery conversations to understand each prospect’s current checkout, pain points, and growth goals, then position Agentix accordingly (training and playbooks provided).​
• Own parts of the sales cycle end‑to‑end: follow‑up, demos with the founder, handling common objections, and advancing opportunities to close.
• Convert interested prospects into paying customers and hand off to onboarding/technical teams with clear notes and expectations.
• Maintain clean documentation of pipeline, activities, and outcomes in our CRM or shared tracking system, with weekly reporting on outreach, meetings, and closed deals.
• Gather market and customer feedback to help refine our ICP, messaging, and sales collateral.

Ideal Profile & Traits

• Hunter mentality: energized by finding new logos, not just managing existing accounts; thrives on hitting outreach and meeting targets.
• Strong executive presence: comfortable speaking with C‑level leaders and senior decision‑makers at platforms and merchants, in a clear and professional manner.
• Sales‑driven: competitive, resilient, and motivated by closing deals and earning commission; views “no” as a step toward “yes.”
• Excellent communicator: confident on Zoom and phone, precise in email, and able to explain a technical product in simple, outcome‑oriented language after training.​
• Structured and proactive: manages their own prospecting workflow, follows up diligently, and keeps the pipeline organized without constant supervision.
• Curious about fintech, payments, and e‑commerce infrastructure; comfortable learning a new category and using that knowledge in conversations.​

Requirements

• Prior exposure to sales, business development, or customer‑facing roles (internships, campus roles, or side projects) is a plus.
• Comfortable working directly with the founder in a fast‑moving, early‑stage startup environment.
• Able to commit 20-30 hours per week for 3 months.
• Strong written and spoken English; based in North America time zones is preferred.

Compensation & Incentives

• Stipend or hourly compensation (to be defined based on time commitment and experience).
• Commission for every successful sales conversion (closed‑won deal), with clear targets and visibility into deal status.
• Hands‑on experience selling, ideally a software product
