If you are located in the Boston or RTP (NC) areas, we are looking for current college students to join our Sales Intern program. We pioneered it this summer with help from two summer interns and are getting ready to launch with an expanded team this fall.

If you are entrepreneurial, outgoing and up for a challenge, this is the program for you to obtain real world experience and hone your sales/presentation skills, whether you plan on a sales career or not.

Apply to our Sales Internship Program

And here are testimonials from our two summer Interns:
“I have had a great experience this summer working in the Experience Sales Intern Program. For someone who is unsure about what they want to do for a career, learning sales is a transferrable skill that can be taken to almost every aspect of business. I have always considered myself an extroverted and social person, but I became much more comfortable speaking to professionals after calling potential clients in sales role. Also, having the ability to work with a small and dedicated team of professionals who wanted to hear my input provided me with a very productive and refreshing experience. Having your voice heard and being treated as an important part of a team is a rare thing to find with an internship and something that makes this program unique.”

“My internship with Experience has truly been an experience. Following extensive client outreach, I’ve acquired the skills to be effective throughout each stage of prospecting. I’m able to execute the meticulous preparation that precedes any successful sale. I’ve learned to listen…and adapt accordingly. Now, I can confidently attest to my proficiency in both resourcefulness and perception. Despite the program’s initial emphasis on sales, I’ve gained invaluable knowledge regarding all aspects of business. My recent exposure to marketing, finance, design, and customer relations have expanded my professional horizons beyond any previous expectations. Experience is a great place to work. More importantly, it’s a great place to learn.”
