New Business Intern

Job Description

Are you competitive by nature and strive to be the best? Do you find the challenges of cold calling and putting yourself out there to new partners exciting? Are you willing to go the extra mile just for a sale? If you answered yes to any of these, then welcome to the team.

Our sales internship will teach you how to master cold calling, the art of SPIN selling, and how to utilize your network and LinkedIn to get more leads. You are a part of a team, but the nature of the job is how you perform on your own. By the end of the summer, you will really know if sales is the route for you.

You are driven by success, don’t know a stranger, and don’t take no for an answer. If you want to gain knowledge in selling in the digital marketing space and leave the summer with as many LinkedIn connections as possible, then we can’t wait to have you apply!
