Sales Hero Internship - September 2023 - Dutch speaking

First, let us briefly introduce ourselves to you. We are Too Good To Go, a certified and proud B-corp with a clear mission: to inspire and empower everyone to fight food waste.

You probably know us from our app, through which we offer leftover food and products from supermarkets, restaurants, suppliers, cafés, bakeries, hotels and specialty stores, among others, to users of our app. In this way, we have already saved about 11 million meals in Belgium - and that's just the beginning! Because we look beyond the app, whether to households, schools, businesses and entrepreneurs or politicians: we want to inspire and empower everyone to take action together! 

We are proud of what we have achieved so far, but have we mentioned that the problem is huge?  That's why we are looking for an intern to support our sales team and to combat climate change & help us make our mission a reality.

Your mission:

As our Inbound sales Intern, you’ll identify potential partners and connect on the phone with the best food businesses (restaurants, cafés, bakeries and many more). You will convince new potential partners to join the food waste movement. Under the wing of our Senior Inbound Sales Specialist, you will help calling leads and onboard new partners on the phone. After some weeks of training, you'll be in charge of managing your own pipeline and guide our partners through the sales process (from lead to onboarding & nurturing the partner). During this internship your main focus will be doing sales, based/depending on your performance you'll also have the opportunity to learn from others in the company (locally and globally). 

You’ll represent and learn how to pitch Too Good To Go with clarity and passion, and show the food business owners you encounter how Too Good To Go is a win-win-win solution. You will learn how to train the partners you’ve brought on board and make sure they become top ambassadors of the food waste movement!

Above all, you’re hungry to get out there, build connections and grow our community of food waste warriors!

Why you are the intern we’re looking for:

At Too Good To Go you are welcome for who you are, no matter where you come from, or what path you’re on, diversity is a strength! Too Good To Go is dedicated to inclusivity & equal employment opportunities and is an affirmative action employer!
We encourage you to bring us your unique skills, passion, perspectives and background to help us with the fight against food waste.
