Overview
Listen to the problems of people at companies and connect them to solutions that use AI. This long-term corporate sales internship joins the launch of Elith's sales team and creates the first points of contact with customers. As you gain experience, you also join business meetings and help prepare proposals.
We are hiring at five locations: Fukuoka, Osaka, Kyoto, Nagoya and Tokyo. Please tell us your preferred location when you apply.
You start with the first contact with companies. By phone, you ask about their use of AI and their business problems, and arrange meetings with companies that are interested. You share what you heard with employees, and together you sort out what to ask in the meeting and which development cases may help the customer.
Employees prepare the contact lists, example talk scripts and record-keeping steps. In weekly reviews, we decide together what to try next based on what you heard and the results of your sales activities. Employees also support you in meetings and proposals, so you can take on more work while consulting with them.

What makes this role rewarding

- Reflecting on your own ideas and turning them into next actionsFor example, when a person's difficulties are hard to see, you try changing the order of your questions or how you present cases. You look back at the conversations and the number of meetings they led to, and think about what to try next.
