Corporate Sponsorship Sales Intern (Commission-Only)

The Opportunity

Are you looking to break into the highly competitive sports marketing and sales industry? This isn't your typical coffee-running internship. We are offering an entrepreneurial, commission-based role where you act as the architect of your own success. With a highly competitive 20% commission rate, your earning potential is entirely up to you.

What You’ll Do

• Generate Leads: Identify, contact, and pitch local Bossier City/Shreveport businesses to secure corporate sponsorships.
• Sell Packages: Pitch high-visibility inventory including on-field fence banners at Freedom Fields and group ticket packages.
• Build Relationships: Represent the NLFA professionally to the Ark-La-Tex business community.
• Manage Pipeline: Track your client outreach and maintain your own sales pipeline.

What You’ll Need

• Currently pursuing a degree in Sports Management, Business, Marketing, Communications, or a related field.
• Strong communication skills, a high level of self-motivation, and the ability to work autonomously.
• A "hustle" mentality—comfortable with cold-calling, networking, and closing deals.
• Connections or familiarity with the North Louisiana/Ark-La-Tex business landscape is a major plus.

Why Partner With the NLFA?

• High Earning Potential: Earn 20% on every sponsorship deal you close (e.g., $1,000 in sales = $200 in your pocket).
• Real-World Experience: Build a tangible portfolio of clients and sales experience for your resume.
• Networking: Connect with NLFA leadership, business owners, and sports professionals.
• Internship Credit: We are happy to work with your university to help you secure academic credit for your internship hours.
