Tom James Company

Sales Intern

May - August 2017 • Tallahassee, FL

What I liked

I liked that I had the opportunity to really learn hands-on. I was able to attend sales meetings and play an active role so I was able to make the connection from what I learned in the classroom with its real life application.

What I wish was different

That I had more time there!

Advice

Really get to know the people in the office. They have a lot to share with you, you just need to set the foundation and build the relationship with them.

Sales Intern

May - July 2022 • Baltimore, MD

What I liked

The people were excellent. They really cared about your success and supporting not only your professional development but also your personal development. Gave very hands on experience with typical functions in sales roles.

What I wish was different

In general, starting earlier on in the intern schedule by having follow days with different sales professionals would have been very valuable and would break up the week's cold call and prospecting tasks nicely.

Advice

Any business students looking for an internship should apply for this internship. No matter the field you go into, this will prepare you to be a great communicator, build your confidence and bring you out of your comfort zone for personal growth.
