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.
