Sales Development Representative - Internship

Sales Development Representative Intern (SDR Intern)

*Company located in Pleasant Grove, UT - This is a hybrid, local-Utah opportunity. Employees work 2-3 days in our Pleasant Grove office and the remaining days from home; this is not a remote or contract opportunity.

What we are actually looking for: Let's get right down to it – you're the right Sales Development Representative (SDR) Intern for Disruptive Advertising if you love picking up the phone, connecting with people, and figuring out what makes a business tick. You get a kick out of a good conversation, you're not afraid of a “no,” and you're hungry to learn what it actually takes to build a sales pipeline from scratch. If the thought of jumping into a fast-paced sales floor, learning directly from experienced Account Executives, and being surrounded by peers who take their craft seriously excites you, read on.

Why would you be so excited to start your sales career at Disruptive? Because Disruptive is already an industry-leading performance marketing agency that does meaningful work and drives real value for clients. We prioritize working with purpose-driven brands and all-around good people, and we invest heavily in the growth of everyone on our team – interns included.

Are you really looking for another internship where you shadow people and fetch coffee? Didn't think so. You're the type of person who wants real reps, real accountability, and real feedback – not busywork. You'll love participating in our personal development culture at Disruptive as you build the foundation of a sales career.

We're not like other agencies (or other internships) that cap the growth of their people. Instead, we bring interns onto our sales team to give them a genuine shot at accelerating their career and unlocking their potential early. Employees have even said, “1 year of experience at Disruptive is comparable to 3 years anywhere else.”
