Business Development & Software Sales Associate (Part Time)

Toucode    Colombo • Part-time

Toucode is looking for motivated young people who are interested in technology, business, communication, sales, or entrepreneurship and want to develop those skills through hands-on experience.

You do not need previous sales experience. What matters most is your willingness to learn, confidence to speak with people, and ability to take initiative. If you’ve recently completed your Advanced Levels or are currently an undergraduate? This could be a great opportunity to gain practical experience while learning how real businesses work.

Who We Are

Toucode is a software company focused on building practical digital solutions for businesses.

We work with companies to understand their day-to-day challenges and help them improve areas such as operations, customer experience, internal processes, and digital adoption through software.

As we grow, we want to bring in people who can help us connect with more businesses and introduce them to the right technology solutions.

What You’ll Be Doing

Your main responsibility will be helping Toucode find and connect with potential customers.

You will:

  • Find businesses that could benefit from our software solutions
  • Reach out to business owners and decision-makers
  • Start conversations and understand how their business currently operates
  • Identify problems that could potentially be solved through technology
  • Introduce Toucode’s products and services in a simple and clear way
  • Follow up with interested businesses
  • Help move potential customers from initial interest towards becoming a client
  • Keep track of leads and communication
  • Share customer feedback and market insights with our team

You will not be expected to know everything from day one. We will help you understand the products, the sales process, and how to communicate with potential customers.

This Could Be a Good Fit If You

  • Have recently completed your A/Ls and are waiting for university
  • Are currently studying or planning to study IT, business, management, commerce, marketing, technology, or a related area
  • Enjoy talking to people and building connections
  • Are comfortable learning new things
  • Are interested in startups, software, business, or entrepreneurship
  • Can communicate confidently in English and/or Sinhala
  • Are willing to approach new people and start conversations
  • Can manage your own time and responsibilities
  • Are motivated by achieving results rather than simply completing assigned hours

Previous experience in sales, marketing, customer service, or business development is useful, but not required.

What You Can Gain

This role is designed to give you practical exposure that is difficult to gain through classroom learning alone.

You’ll get the opportunity to:

  • Understand how B2B sales works
  • Build confidence speaking with business professionals
  • Improve communication and negotiation skills
  • Receive guidance and training from an experienced team
  • Gain exposure to software products and SaaS
  • Work directly with a startup team
  • Learn how products, sales, customers, and business growth connect together
  • Develop skills that can support future careers in business, IT, product, sales, marketing, or entrepreneurship

Work Structure

This is a flexible part-time / freelance opportunity.

There are no traditional fixed working hours. You can manage the role around your studies, courses, university preparation, or other commitments.

However, we expect you to take ownership of your leads, follow-ups, and results with team support.

Earnings

This is a performance-based role.

You will earn through commissions and incentives linked to successful customer conversions and agreed sales outcomes.

The full earning structure will be explained during the selection process.

Who We’re Really Looking For

We are not necessarily looking for someone with an impressive CV.

We are looking for someone who is:

Curious. Reliable. Confident. Willing to learn. Comfortable talking to people. And ready to take initiative.

If you have just finished school and want to spend your time before university gaining real business experience instead of only waiting for your next academic step, we’d be happy to hear from you.

How to Apply

Send us your CV along with a short introduction about yourself and why you’re interested in the opportunity.

Shortlisted candidates will be invited for a short discussion with the Toucode team.
