Want to Graduate Knowing How to Actually Sell?
Sharon Layman State Farm Agency | Tempe, Arizona Paid Part-Time Internship | 2 Positions Available | Start ASAP - 1 YEAR INTERNSHIP MINIMUMSome internships give you something to put on your résumé.
We want to give you a skill you can use for the rest of your career.
We are looking for two competitive, ambitious and highly coachable ASU students who want to learn how professional sales actually works.
You do not need insurance experience.
We can teach insurance.
What is much harder to teach is:
Drive. Curiosity. Resilience. Initiative. Competitive spirit. Follow-through. And the desire to become exceptional at something.
This Is Not a Sit-and-Watch Internship- You will participate.

- Follow-up
- Relationship building
- Referral generation
- CRM and pipeline management
- Insurance and financial-protection conversations
- Role-playing and sales practice
- Using AI to become more productive
- Understanding your numbers
- Improving your performance
We believe people improve faster when expectations and results are clear.
If someone else is outperforming you, we hope your reaction is:
“What are they doing that I am not, and how do I get better?”
If that sounds exciting instead of intimidating, we want to meet you.
