Pronto Networks • Walnut Creek, CA • Part-Time (30 hrs/week) • In-Office • Commission Eligible
About the Role
We are looking for a driven, coachable intern to join our Business Development team in Walnut Creek. This is a hands-on, paid role — not coffee runs. You will be trained on AI-native prospecting tools, learn a proven outreach methodology, and earn commission for every qualified appointment you book. No prior sales experience required.
What You'll Do
• Use AI-native tools (Clay, Apollo, ChatGPT) to research prospects and personalize outreach at scale

• Qualify leads and book discovery meetings for senior account executives
• Maintain pipeline records in our CRM and participate in weekly AI tool workshops
What You'll Learn
• AI-powered prospecting: automating research and personalizing outreach with modern tools
• Cold calling and objection handling frameworks used by top-performing BDR teams
• Full B2B sales motion — from first touch to booked meeting
• CRM hygiene and pipeline management fundamentals
Compensation & Schedule
Base Pay: $19–$21/hour depending on fit
Commission: Uncapped — paid per qualified appointment booked
Schedule: 30 hours/week, Monday–Friday, Walnut Creek office. Flexible start times available.
Who We're Looking For
• Comfortable on the phone — you don't have to love cold calling yet, but you can't be afraid of it
• Curious about AI tools and excited about how they're changing sales
• Coachable, self-motivated, and competitive
• Currently enrolled in or recently graduated from college (any major)
• Bonus: customer-facing experience, familiarity with LinkedIn/HubSpot/Apollo
Why Join Us
• Get trained on AI sales tools your peers won't learn until years into their careers
• Real commission on top of hourly pay — your effort directly translates to earnings
• Clear path to a full-time BDR role for top performers
• Small team, visible impact, free parking and BART-accessible in Walnut Creek
How to Apply
Our process has two steps:
Step 1 — Voice Roleplay Interview
Complete a short AI-powered voice roleplay at sdrroleplay.lovable.app. You will play a BDR cold calling a networking prospect to book a 20-minute meeting. The AI plays the prospect and scores your performance. This takes about 5 minutes.
Step 2 — Send Your CV
Email your CV to careers@prontonetworks.com. No formal cover letter required — just include one sentence on why you're interested in sales.
