About The Role Do you love competing, helping people, and seeing your name climb a leaderboard?
Then please read on… selfpublishing.com is a back-to-back-to-back INC 5000 company & we're launching our Summer 2027 Sales Internship Program . Our mission is to TRANSFORM THE LIVES of authors by helping them write and publish books, grow their businesses, and launch their author careers!
As a Sales Intern, you'll work as a Sales Development Rep (SDR) on our team. You'll call warm leads, people who already raised their hand by grabbing a free book, training, or challenge from us. You'll learn about their book, find out what's been holding them back, and book them a free strategy call with one of our Publishing Strategists.
We get 400+ new leads every day . No cold calling strangers. These are people who want to write a book and need someone to help them take the next step.
This is an in-person summer internship based in our Westlake (Austin) office.
