The Sales Internship Program

Our award-winning sales internship program begins each June in locations across the country and lasts eight immersive weeks. Interns should expect to experience the full career path detailed in the phases above. Days are spent shadowing and selling alongside sales consultants and District Managers while working with local distributors, experiencing numerous Phase 3 role responsibilities, plus making independent sales calls. This all builds to a culminating presentation in front of senior sales leadership. As an intern, you must be available for the duration of the 8 weeks, be at least 21 to participate, and have reliable access to a vehicle.

Our distributors. Your home.

We work with industry-leading distributors to bring our products to shelves across the country. The relationships you develop while working for these distributors will help take you — and GALLO — to the next level.
