Sales Development Intern – Financial Services
Sales Development Intern – Financial Services
Mach96 | Part-Time Internship | $18/hour + Commission
Target Earnings: $25–$30+/hour
10–20+ hours per week
Want an internship where you actually learn how to sell? Want to work in the financial district of downtown Wayzata, MN?
Mach96 is looking for competitive, driven students who want real-world experience inside a fast-paced financial services company. This is not an internship where you spend your day making copies, sitting in meetings, or watching from the sidelines.
You’ll be on the phones, sending emails, connecting with financial advisors on LinkedIn, starting conversations, and setting meetings for our sales team.
We’ll give you the scripts, training, technology, and coaching. You bring the energy, competitiveness, and willingness to hear “no” and keep going.
Think of it as a sales boiler room in the best way possible. You’ll learn how prospecting actually works, how professional sales organizations create opportunities, and how top salespeople build a pipeline from scratch.
What You'll Do
- Make outbound calls to financial advisors and financial professionals
- Prospect through email and LinkedIn
- Start conversations with prospective clients
- Schedule qualified meetings for the Mach96 sales team
- Learn how to overcome objections and handle rejection
- Use sales scripts, CRM technology, and prospecting tools
- Work toward weekly activity and meeting goals
- Learn directly from experienced financial-services sales professionals
Who We’re Looking For
We care much more about your attitude than your résumé.
You may be a great fit if you:
- Aren’t afraid to pick up the phone
- Can hear “no” without taking it personally
- Have a competitive personality
- Want to be measured on results
- Have a strong work ethic and a “figure it out” attitude
- Are confident talking with professionals
- Want to make money based on your performance
- Want an internship that can actually accelerate your career
- Want to stand out instead of simply checking the internship box
Athletes, former athletes, entrepreneurs, competitive personalities, and students interested in sales, finance, business, economics, marketing, or entrepreneurship are encouraged to apply.
No prior financial-services experience is required.
Compensation
$18/hour base pay + commission
Strong performers should have the opportunity to earn approximately $25–$30+ per hour based on results.
Expected commitment is approximately 10–20+ hours per week, with flexibility around a student schedule.
Where This Can Take You
This internship is designed to give you exposure to the business side of financial services and professional sales.
The skills you develop here can translate into careers including:
- Financial-services wholesaling
- Internal and external wholesaling
- Financial advising
- Wealth management
- Business development
- Sales development

For the right person, this internship could also become much more.

We are a growing small business, which means you won’t be buried inside a giant corporate internship program. You’ll get a front-row seat to how a company grows, sells, competes, and creates opportunities.
If you want an easy internship, this probably isn’t it.
If you want to learn how to sell, develop confidence, make money, compete, and potentially create a career opportunity for yourself, we want to hear from you.
