Business Development Intern.
Our mission is to enable people to live their passion by helping others live theirs.
The biggest thing about #besomebody is that it started so small. What began as one man’s mantra exploded into the fastest growing Motivational Movement in the world, and now, the world’s first mobile platform that connects people based on shared passions. The #besomebody app enables people to live their passion by connecting them with content, people and experiences based on their passions. At the heart of our platform is an Experience Marketplace that enables people to learn anything they are passionate about by booking Experiences with talented teachers, coaches and instructors (“Passionaries”) around them.
Our app and marketplace is growing fast in our home market of Austin, Texas, and now we’re ready to start expanding across the country (and the world). We’re looking for an experienced, energetic, driven and passionate game-changer to lead that expansion.
As a Business Development intern you’ll have the opportunity to join a fast growing Austin-based startup and be on the frontlines of the most important part of our platform: finding and unleashing our Passionaries. You’ll work our team leaders and CEO to execute a comprehensive recruitment strategy that enables as many people as possible to make a living doing what they love.
Responsibilities:
- Grow our Experience Marketplace by actively identifying prospective people, partners and businesses that can teach on our platform.
- Assess the landscape, compile lead lists, reach out to prospective leads, engage and onboard potential Passionaries, and close the deal.
- Develop working relationships that turn into growth and/or revenue, both for the company and for our Passionaries.
- Participate in active outreach via direct communication, face-to-face meetings, networking events, calling and emails.
- Represent #besomebody at events and tradeshows with the intention of gaining new leads and recruiting new Passionaries.
- Partake in adhoc marketing activities in order to increase #besomebody’s visibility in current and expanding markets.
- Effectively interact with the broader #besomebody team, and have a “Whatever it Takes” attitude.
