The posting
The Sales Intern sits inside the earliest stages of Cogent Analytics' sales process, where the outcome of every downstream sale is actually decided. This role exists to show, firsthand, how identifying an ideal client profile (ICP), building a prospect database, and engaging that database correctly drive revenue and growth, and how getting any one of those wrong drags down sales performance for the entire organization.
The intern will work side by side with sales leadership day-to-day and will be exposed to the outside sales team (Regional Vice Presidents), but will not travel or spend time in the field. This is an inside seat on the machinery that makes outside sales possible.
Responsibilities
- Marketing exposure. Spend time with the marketing team observing how it works to grow the business, including how an ideal client profile and a client database get built in the first place.
- Hands-on database work. Get directly into the prospect database and perform actual database maintenance — not a tour of it, but real upkeep work.
- Shadow inside sales. Sit with the inside sales team, watch outbound calls get made, and see firsthand how the database is used to secure client appointments.
- Shadow sales management. Observe sales management's engagement with both clients and the outside sales team, and how management uses the database to run that engagement.
- Connect database work to RVP time efficiency. Take on hands-on responsibility for tracking outside sales team (RVP) time management, and tie database maintenance work directly to how efficiently RVPs use their time in the field.
Ideal Candidate
- Comfortable being hands-on with data — this is real database maintenance, not observation only
- Curious about how the pieces of a sales organization connect, rather than looking for a single, narrow task
- Willing to sit in on outbound calling and management conversations and pay attention to how they're run
- Organized enough to manage recurring, detail-heavy work (database upkeep, time-tracking data) without losing accuracy
If you are looking to gain hands-on experience in a dynamic business environment, we encourage you to apply for this internship. Join Cogent Analytics and contribute to a high-performance team dedicated to excellence and client success.
