Sales and Business Development Internships

25 open internships right now

Sales and business development internships are consistently among the easiest to get and the most underrated by students. Companies hire for them year-round, the barrier to entry is low, and the work produces something rare in an internship: numbers you can point at afterwards.

That last part is why these roles are worth considering even if you do not intend a sales career. "Contacted 200 prospects and booked 14 meetings" is a concrete, verifiable result in a way that "assisted the marketing team" is not, and it holds up in interviews for roles well outside sales.

Be clear-eyed about the downsides. The work involves a lot of rejection, targets are often real even for interns, and some listings in this category are commission-only in substance if not in name. Check what the stipend actually is and what is expected of you before accepting, and treat any role that asks you to pay for training or materials as a reason to walk away.
