Job description

Despite what you’ve heard, there’s more to sales than just pestering people to buy something- in fact, the best sales professionals aren’t pestering at all. Their customers make a purchase because they WANT to buy! How do they do that? It all comes down to the psychology behind a successful sale. What does the customer want? Why do they want it? How can you position your offering to solve their problem in a way they will understand? The Everlight Solar Sales Psychology Internship teaches the most fundamental aspects of modern sales psychology. Forget the antiquated pushy sales tactics you see online. Spend a summer with Everlight Solar learning real persuasion and sales psychology and take the value you can add to a company to the next level.

2. Acquiring key interpersonal (soft) skills such as effective non-verbal and para-verbal communication, negotiation, closing the sale and overcoming customer objections.
3. Creating a network of industry professionals not only to serve as mentors but also to develop opportunities for continuing in the workforce post-graduation.
