Sales & Partnerships Intern — Sabai

Hours: 15 hours/week (flexible scheduling) Compensation: $20/hour base + performance bonus on closed deals Focus: Trade & B2B sales growth through outreach

About Sabai

Sabai is a sustainable furniture company designing comfortable, beautiful pieces made with non-toxic, eco-friendly materials. We're on a mission to make sustainable living the default — not the exception. As we grow our trade and B2B channels (interior designers, hospitality, offices, and other commercial buyers), we're looking for a driven Sales Intern to help us expand our reach.

The Role

We're looking for a Sales & Partnerships Intern to support the growth of Sabai's trade and B2B sales program. This role is perfect for someone who's curious about sales, sustainability, and design, and who wants hands-on experience driving real revenue at a mission-driven brand. You'll be responsible for identifying potential trade and B2B customers, conducting outreach, and helping move prospects through the sales pipeline.

What You'll Do

  • Research and build targeted prospect lists of interior designers, design firms, hospitality groups, co-working spaces, boutique hotels, and other potential B2B customers
  • Conduct cold and warm outreach via email, LinkedIn, and other channels to introduce Sabai's trade program
  • Follow up with inbound trade applications and nurture leads through the sales funnel
  • Maintain and update the CRM with prospect information, outreach activity, and pipeline status
  • Help craft outreach templates, sales collateral, and follow-up sequences
  • Track outreach metrics (open rates, response rates, conversions) and report on performance
  • Collaborate with the broader sales and marketing team on campaigns and initiatives
  • Support the trade team with administrative tasks as needed

What We're Looking For

  • Currently enrolled in or recently graduated from a college or university program
  • Strong written communication skills — you can write a clear, compelling email
  • Self-starter who can manage their own time and work independently
  • Comfortable with rejection and persistent in follow-up
  • Interest in sustainability, design, furniture, or e-commerce a plus
  • Familiarity with CRM tools (HubSpot, Salesforce, etc.) and LinkedIn Sales Navigator a plus, but not required
  • Organized, detail-oriented, and able to juggle multiple prospects at once

What You'll Gain

  • Real-world B2B sales experience at a fast-growing sustainable brand
  • Mentorship from Sabai's sales and leadership teams
  • Hands-on experience with CRM tools, outreach platforms, and sales analytics
  • A portfolio of measurable results you can take into your next role
  • Exposure to the broader operations of a mission-driven DTC company

Compensation & Logistics

  • Base pay: $20/hour
  • Performance bonus: Additional bonus paid out on closed trade and B2B deals, with structure to be discussed during the interview process. The more accounts you close, the more you earn.
  • Hours: 15 hours/week, flexible scheduling
  • Location: Remote
