Summer B2B Sales Associate

Summer B2B Sales Associate / Management Trainee

Rescue Cooling Rentals

Company Overview

Rescue Cooling Rentals provides temporary HVAC and climate control solutions across Texas, Arizona, Florida, and other high-growth Sunbelt markets. When HVAC systems fail during extreme heat, businesses, schools, healthcare facilities, and property managers face immediate operational and safety risks. We respond fast, often delivering cold air within 90 minutes, to keep facilities operational.

Our customers include nursing homes, medical facilities, school districts, churches, manufacturing plants, data centers, property management companies, and HVAC contractors who need temporary cooling for their own clients. Rescue Cooling operates at the intersection of operations excellence, relationship-driven B2B sales, and modern marketing systems, and continues to grow rapidly across major metro areas.

Position Overview

We are seeking motivated Summer B2B Sales Associates to support rapid growth during peak summer demand. These roles are market-specific, with 1–2 associates placed in each metro.

Summer B2B Sales Associates report into Rescue Cooling’s central sales leadership while working daily with the local General Manager and operations team in their assigned market. This dotted-line structure mirrors how professional B2B sales organizations operate and provides exposure to both strategy and execution.

This role is not consumer sales and not transactional. It is designed to teach true B2B prospecting, relationship-building, and account development.

Who Needs Our Services

You will prospect and build relationships with organizations such as:

• Nursing homes and medical facilities
• Schools, daycares, and school districts
• Manufacturing plants and data centers
• Property management companies and institutional landlords
• HVAC contractors needing temporary solutions for their customers

Key Responsibilities

Sales & Business Development

• Prospect and manage a B2B sales pipeline using HubSpot CRM
• Conduct in-person prospecting by walking into offices, facilities, and job sites to introduce Rescue Cooling and build initial relationships
• Perform professional phone outreach to facilities managers, property operators, and operations leaders
• Build familiarity and trust within your assigned geography through repeated, thoughtful interactions
• Transition qualified relationships to senior Account Managers as accounts mature

Former door-to-door sales reps often excel here. The ability to confidently walk into an office, create a strong first impression, and follow up consistently is a major advantage.

Customer Engagement & Service

• Serve as an initial point of contact for customers exploring temporary cooling solutions
• Learn to assess operational needs and recommend appropriate portable HVAC solutions
• Coordinate with local operations teams to ensure smooth execution and customer satisfaction

Operations & Logistics Exposure

• Complete required documentation accurately in company systems
• Work closely with operations teams to coordinate timely deliveries and installations
• Occasionally assist with deliveries to better understand equipment, customers, and field execution

Training & Professional Development

This internship provides hands-on exposure to how modern B2B organizations operate, including:

• HubSpot CRM best practices and pipeline management
• In-person and phone-based B2B prospecting techniques
• Needs-based selling across multiple industries
• Working cross-functionally with operations and marketing teams
• Understanding how early-stage relationships mature into enterprise accounts

This role is intentionally designed to build durable, transferable skills that apply across software, industrial services, and entrepreneurship.

Career Path

This internship is designed as a launchpad, not a one-time summer job.

Successful interns typically use this experience to:

• Launch into professional B2B sales roles in software, industrial services, logistics, or equipment rental
• Build a strong foundation for startups and entrepreneurship
• Continue with Rescue Cooling in a full-time Account Manager or Enterprise Strategic Account Manager role

Top performers each summer receive full-time offers.

Why This Internship Is Different

• You will do real B2B prospecting, not shadowing or busywork
• You will build relationships that continue beyond the summer
• You will learn how sales, operations, and marketing function as a system
• You will gain experience that materially strengthens your post-graduation career options

Compensation & Perks

• Base Pay: $400 per week
• Commission: 7% of gross sales (paid biweekly)
• Average Contract Size: ~$15,000 (some exceed $200,000)
• Mileage Reimbursement: $0.70 per mile (IRS standard rate)
• Annual Team Bonus Target: $6,000 based on total company revenue

Expected Total Earnings: $20,000–$30,000 for a full summer (May–August)

Work Schedule

• Flexible 40+ hour workweek
• Set your own hours based on customer availability
• High autonomy for self-motivated performers

Relocation & Housing

• Relocation assistance available (varies by location)
• Housing stipend of $500 per month.  This stipend is designed to help offset housing costs; most interns choose shared housing or short-term rentals in their market.
