Agency Sales Development Associate Intern
Role Summary:
We are looking for an Agency Sales Development Associate Intern to support our sales pipeline through prospecting, outreach, appointment setting, CRM updates, and follow-up with potential clients.
This internship is designed for someone who wants practical, hands-on experience in agency sales and is comfortable learning through real outreach, real conversations, and performance-based results. You will work closely with the sales team to understand how agencies identify prospects, start conversations, track leads, schedule meetings, and move opportunities through the pipeline.
This is an entry-level opportunity. Prior sales experience is helpful, but not required for candidates who are coachable, organized, self-motivated, and willing to consistently improve.
Growth & Training Opportunity:
We will provide training on our sales process, outreach approach, CRM workflow, appointment-setting standards, and follow-up system. You will learn how agency sales teams generate leads, qualify opportunities, communicate value, and support the sales process from first contact to scheduled meeting.
Strong performers may have the opportunity to take on additional responsibility over time, including helping train newer interns, assisting with team organization, and learning the basics of managing a small outreach team.
Leadership opportunities are based on consistency, performance, communication, and reliability. They are not guaranteed.
Compensation:
This is a 100% commission-based internship. There is no guaranteed hourly wage or base salary unless otherwise required by applicable law or agreed to in writing.
This role is best suited for candidates who are comfortable with performance-based earning and understand that compensation depends on results. Commission details, eligibility, payment timing, and performance expectations will be explained clearly before acceptance of the role.
Responsibilities:
- Prospect and identify potential clients through cold calling, email outreach, and other approved outreach methods

- Collaborate with the sales team to support pipeline goals and improve outreach performance
- Learn and apply agency sales development strategies in a real business environment
- Participate in training, coaching, and performance review conversations
Preferred Qualifications:
- Interest in sales, marketing, business development, agency operations, or entrepreneurship
- Strong verbal and written communication skills
- Comfortable making cold calls and reaching out to new prospects
- Organized, reliable, and able to follow a structured process
- Willing to learn CRM software, outreach tools, and basic sales systems
- Able to handle rejection professionally and continue improving
- Self-motivated and comfortable working in a commission-based role
- Entry-level sales, customer service, lead generation, or appointment-setting experience is helpful, but not required
What You’ll Learn:
- How agency sales teams identify and qualify potential clients
- How to conduct cold outreach professionally
- How to use CRM software to track leads and sales activity
- How to set appointments and manage follow-up
- How to communicate value clearly and confidently

- How performance is measured in a real sales environment
- How strong individual contributors can grow into leadership responsibilities over time
Ideal Candidate:
The ideal candidate is motivated, coachable, organized, and interested in building real-world sales experience. You do not need to be an expert. You do need to be willing to practice, take feedback, stay consistent, and communicate professionally with potential clients.
This role is a strong fit for someone who wants to break into sales, marketing, agency work, business development, or entrepreneurship and is comfortable being rewarded based on performance.
