About The Position

The Sales Training Program at Gray Media is a 10-week, hands-on, real-world experience designed to teach interns the fundamentals of media sales and help them build skills applicable to any career. Unlike traditional internships, interns are actively involved in building a business from day one, learning to prospect, make cold calls with coaching, build client presentations, support digital and broadcast sales strategies, and work alongside experienced Media Executives and Sales Leaders. The program aims to teach participants how to confidently start conversations with clients, sell multi-platform advertising solutions, build and present winning pitches, and manage a pipeline to grow revenue. Many interns transition into full-time roles and are well-prepared to succeed.
