Summer Sales Internship – Forge Marketing

Paid Internship | Housing Available | Leadership Opportunities | Summer 2026




About the Opportunity

Looking for a summer experience that challenges you and accelerates your growth?
Forge Marketing’s Summer Sales Internship offers college students hands-on experience in sales, leadership, and business development. As a Sales Representative, you’ll work with a team selling residential pest-control services in selected U.S. markets. This is a performance-based sales internship designed to help you develop communication, work ethic, resilience, and leadership skills in a fast-paced, team-oriented environment.




What You’ll Gain

  • Performance-based earning opportunity: Compensation is commission-based with bonuses available. Earnings vary by individual performance.
  • Housing arranged by Forge: Fully furnished summer housing is secured and organized by our team.
  • Sales & leadership training: Ongoing mentorship and structured training throughout the summer.
  • Professional development: Experience in marketing, lead generation, and closing sales.
  • Incentive programs: Eligibility for performance-based bonuses and team competitions.




What You’ll Learn

  • Professional communication and interpersonal skills
  • Goal setting and performance tracking
  • Sales fundamentals and negotiation techniques
  • Time management and self-discipline
  • Leadership fundamentals for high performers




Who We’re Looking For

This internship is ideal for college students or recent graduates who are:



  • Competitive and goal-oriented
  • Interested in sales, entrepreneurship, or leadership
  • Willing to work outdoors and engage directly with customers
  • Coachable and open to feedback
  • Willing to relocate for the summer if selected


Where top performers go after this role


This internship is designed to build real-world skills in sales, leadership, and performance under pressure. Many of our former reps have gone on to pursue careers in:

• Medical device sales
• SaaS and tech sales
• Commercial and enterprise sales
• Real estate and real estate investing
• Financial services and wealth management
• Investment banking and private equity
• Corporate finance and consulting
• Entrepreneurship and startup ventures
• Management and leadership roles within our organization
• Graduate programs (MBA, law, finance, etc.)

The skills developed here — communication, resilience, negotiation, work ethic, leadership, and emotional intelligence — translate directly into competitive, high-performance career paths across industries.
While career paths vary by individual, this role is intentionally structured to accelerate professional growth and expand long-term professional opportunities.
