Inside Sales Lab

About the Inside Sales Lab

The Inside Sales Lab (ISL) is a dynamic initiative of the Center for Sales and Customer Development (CSCD), housed in the marketing department of the Trulaske College of Business. The goal of the CSCD Inside Sales Lab is to promote partnership opportunities with leading companies for developing future sales leaders while providing students opportunities for hands-on learning. The Inside Sales Lab also provides researchers an experiential laboratory for conducting research on the development of cutting-edge sales tools and techniques.

 

 

Our Mission

The mission of the Inside Sales Lab is to expose current students to internship opportunities with corporate partners while engaging in real time inside sales activities. Participants in the lab will be provided with leading edge technologies and advanced insides sales techniques. The culmination of this experience will result in enhanced sales knowledge and prepare future leaders in the inside sales discipline. 

WHAT TO EXPECT BEING AN INTERN IN OUR INSIDE SALES LAB

 

Students who conduct their internship in the Inside Sales Lab will gain the valuable experience of calling on and developing business relationships for our Lab Partner firms. These companies hire and train, develop and lead their inside sales lab interns to generate new business opportunities as well as to conduct market research into industry trends, growing brand awareness and building account relationships. 

With the latest technology and customer service relationship management integration, our Inside Sales Lab Interns develop the necessary technical and communication talents to increase brand awareness, build client profiles, produce new business and get a jump on the competition. 

Students enjoy the Inside Sales Lab experience because of its flexibility—students can schedule their weekly internship time around their daily class schedule.  The Inside Sales Lab offers a convenient, immersive, yet adaptive internship experience that prepares students for many of the hybrid/remote and inside sales functions that are more and more prevalent.
