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.
