Get real-world sales experience, mentorship from industry leaders, and the opportunity to start a career with Walser before you even graduate.
The Sales Academy is Walser’s premier internship track, designed for students who want to jump-start their careers in sales. You’ll gain hands-on experience at one of our Twin Cities dealerships, learning every step of the sales process — from managing leads and following up with customers to closing deals.
This isn’t just shadowing, you’ll actively contribute as a member of the sales team. From day one, you’ll be working in a professional dealership environment, developing sales skills, learning to build customer relationships, and building confidence in your ability to drive results.
"This really is the big leagues."
