Sales Development Intern

Description

Sales is where relationships, strategy, and results all come together — and this internship puts you right in the middle of it. As Lima One Capital's Sales Intern, you'll split your time between Revenue Operations and Sales Management, getting a front-row seat to a crucial part of our sales process. You'll reach out to leads, qualify potential borrowers, and set meetings for our Senior Loan Officers, gaining real experience navigating sales conversations and building a pipeline of your own. Along the way, you'll learn the ins and outs of loan origination and pipeline management — skills that translate directly into careers in sales, business development, and financial services. It's a hands-on opportunity to build confidence, sharpen your communication skills, and see your work directly influence business results.
