Inside Sales Summer Intern \u2014 Talent AgencyAt — The Blended Group

About The Blended Group

We are a lifestyle management, consulting, and marketing firm at the intersection of esports, music, and culture. We connect top influencers in gaming and tech with some of the largest brands in the country — building campaigns that actually convert.

We don't just do marketing. We understand where your audience lives, how they consume content, and what makes them move. That insight drives everything we do.

Role Overview

As an Inside Sales Intern, you'll work directly on prospecting, outreach, and pipeline development — helping us land brand deals and grow our client roster. If you're competitive, communicative, and not afraid to pick up the phone or fire off a cold email, we want you on the floor.

What You'll Be Doing

• Lead Generation — Identify and research prospective brand partners across relevant industries
• Cold Outreach — Execute email and social outreach campaigns to introduce The Blended Group to new clients
• Pipeline Management — Track prospects, update the CRM, and move deals through the funnel
• Discovery Calls — Join and eventually lead introductory calls with brand prospects
• Proposal Support — Help put together decks and one-pagers for prospective clients
• Follow-Up & Nurture — Manage follow-up sequences to keep warm leads engaged
• Market Research — Identify new verticals, trending brands, and partnership opportunities

Who We're Looking For

• Hungry, competitive, and not afraid of rejection — you see every 'no' as a step toward 'yes'
• Strong communicator — written, verbal, and on the phone
• Highly organized and able to manage multiple prospects and timelines simultaneously
• Comfortable with CRM tools or eager to learn (HubSpot, Salesforce, etc.)
• Sophomore, Junior, or Senior pursuing any major — Sales, Business, Marketing, or Comm preferred

Training & Onboarding

This is a structured program — not a sink-or-swim situation. Here's what your first weeks look like:

Week 1 — Shadow & Learn

• Full orientation: company history, mission, clients, and goals
• Shadow senior sales reps through real prospecting and outreach workflows
• Review all sales materials, decks, and CRM setup

Week 2+ — Get Hands-On

• Begin executing your own prospecting list and outreach sequences
• Shadow and contribute to live discovery calls with prospects
• High performers start owning their own pipeline segments quickly

What You'll Walk Away With

• A clear understanding of how sales pipelines and brand partnerships are built
• Real experience in cold outreach, prospecting, and deal flow
• Training in CRM tools and pipeline management best practices
• Exposure to live negotiations and brand partnership conversations
• Mentorship from experienced sales leaders and talent managers
• A portfolio of real-world sales experience for marketing, sales, or agency careers
