Join the Classlete Team as our Prospecting Intern!


Are you a driven individual passionate about sales, lead generation, and building relationships? Do you want to gain hands-on experience working with cutting-edge tools in a dynamic and supportive environment?


Classlete (the fusion of "Class" and "Athlete") is an innovative online platform designed for Canadian and U.S. high school student-athletes who strive to balance academics, sports, and social life.


We partner with youth sporting organizations and schools to provide custom Sports Card/Poster designs (both digital and printed) equipped with QR codes. This program offers a revolutionary revenue-sharing, branding, and fundraising opportunity, helping organizations lift their visibility while showcasing their athletes.


Visit www.classlete.com and www.classlete.com/organizations to learn more about our program and how we help schools and sporting organizations.



Goals:


Our company is looking to execute on our sales process. We are hoping to find students that are not afraid to get on the phone, speak to US and CDN youth sport organizations and private schools to book appointments with Athletic Directors and related executive or marketing stakeholders.  These are the main activities for this project.


Position: Business Development / Prospecting Intern

Location: Remote

Duration: 1-4 Months (with potential for extension)

Start Date: ASAP


Main Responsibilities:

  • Setup and Optimization: Work directly with the team to configure and optimize Apollo.io (or similar outreach tool), our lead creation and outreach automation tool, to drive new intro call bookings with U.S.-based sporting organizations and private schools.
  • Outreach Execution: Use Apollo.io to manage and execute email sequences, LinkedIn outreach, text messaging, and phone calls aimed at booking appointments with Athletic Directors and other key decision-makers.
  • Calendar Management: Book meetings and maintain a well-organized calendar of appointments.


What We’re Looking For:

  • Strong interest in sales, marketing, and prospecting.
  • Not afraid to pick up the phone to book appointments.
  • Familiarity with tools like Apollo.io or similar CRM/outreach platforms is a plus.
  • Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal.
  • Ability to work independently and as part of a team in a fast-paced start-up environment.
  • Strong organizational skills and attention to detail.


What You’ll Gain:

  • Hands-on experience with advanced sales scripts and outreach tools.
  • Mentorship and guidance from experienced professionals.
  • Opportunity to develop skills in lead generation, prospecting, and client outreach.
  • Exposure to the sports marketing industry and networking with key stakeholders.
  • The chance to contribute to a meaningful program that supports student-athletes.


If you’re excited to gain practical experience in prospecting and outreach while supporting a mission-driven start-up, we’d love to hear from you!

Classlete (the word "Class" and "Athlete" put together) is an online membership platform for Canadian and U.S. based youth athletes providing youth sporting organizations/schools the opportunity to drive rev-sharing, branding and fundraising campaigns through custom Digital and Printed Sports Card outfitted with QR codes.

This provides a revolutionary rev-sharing, branding and fundraising opportunity for these organizations that can help elevate their club and athletes' visibility when these sports cards with their QR codes are shared on social media as well as when the printed versions are purchased (with a percentage of the sales revenue going back to the organization).
