Are you a motivated college undergrad curious about a career in sales?

Do your friends and family consider you competitive?

Do you have a larger goal for your next summer job besides just making a few bucks?

Are you looking to build real, marketable skills future hiring managers will salivate over?

If any of this sounds familiar, memoryBlue may be worth a look.

Opportunity

This internship is a B2B Sales Development role where you’ll surface new sales opportunities for a quota-carrying sales executive to drive and ultimately close new business. These are often five, six, and seven-figure deals that take 90 days to 18+ months to close. You’ll be exposed to multiple technologies and sales cultures through your work. Along the way, you’ll build your professional network and gain experience that will help you determine what’s important for your career in the long-term.

You will work directly for a Delivery Manager who once was a top performing Sales Development Representative (SDR), and you will have monthly sales goals to help benchmark progress. All interns get performance bonus opportunities that can lead to major cash, as well. In fact, we have had interns earn paychecks north of $3,000 in one single pay period!

We aim to enhance the internship experience at memoryBlue in a variety of ways. This includes participation in our award-winning culture events, direct access to company leadership, special intern-only happy hours and social outings, intern-focused fireside chats and guest speakers, and the ability for interns to earn their way on to our twice-per-year TOPS Trip. Professional sales interns earn base pay and uncapped commission opportunities during their time here much like full-time SDRs.

Training

Professional sales interns complete the intense memoryBlue Academy sales training program: a two-day “bootcamp” and ongoing six week sales training course with your start class where you’ll share the acclimation and ramp up experience with others. This course is led by a dedicated sales trainer who has sales experience in terms of both individual performance and leadership. The training will stress the importance of how you sell, not what you sell, and it will arm you with the tools needed to become a strong sales professional.

During and following your training, you’ll continue to experience a wide array of ongoing activities which build upon lessons learned all summer long. This includes our highly focused weekly staff training sessions. Here you’ll see presentations on professional sales best practices, dissect sales calls, and discuss industry changing sales materials.

This isn’t the “blow off” class available back at college. Everyone is asked to anonymously score each session so that the training is under continuous improvement.

Culture

The company believes a great culture starts with having the opportunity to work with talented coworkers and is powered by five core values: hustle, grow, care, fun, and abundance. Everyone from the cofounders to the most recent new hire is committed to working each day to close the gap between potential and accomplishment.

Each of our offices has an electric sales floor with “ESPN like” video leaderboards that update key wins in real-time. You’ll have your own theme song and avatar that will broadcast across all the offices to celebrate your noteworthy accomplishments. You’ll work side by side with accomplished sales managers and motivated sales professionals alike, learning the tools of the sales trade and mastering skills that are in high demand.

memoryBlue is a meritocracy where the highest performers enjoy the biggest rewards from day one. Starting your first week, you’ll have an opportunity to earn all or half of Friday off. Top performers have gone an entire summer without working a single Friday. The focus is on goal time, not clock time.

Twice a year, the company takes the top 50% of eligible SDRs on a “Tops Trip” to an exotic destination in the tropics. Our Professional Sales Interns have the opportunity to earn on to this trip — and several have accomplished that feat!

Even better, you’ll have a golden opportunity to earn a real job offer at the end of your internship. Many of our interns receive and accept full-time employment offers following their time with us.

How nice would it be to head back to college assured of a great professional landing spot upon graduation?
