Job Description



The Problem We Solve

Every successful restaurant must :

  1. Have   a consistent and outstanding social media presence that tells their story authentically and engages with current and potential guests.
  2. Deliver excellent customer service by replying to both positive and challenging customer reviews.
  3. Keep their hour and menus up-to-date on 75+ top apps, maps, and search engines (Google, Yelp, Facebook, Apple Maps, and more).

We take this work off their plate, getting the job done right, and saving them time and headache so they can get back to running their business.

Our Social High Rise Ethos

We're a tight-knit team of seasoned professionals that hustles together, takes ownership of our work, and practices empathy. We strive to be optimistic, humble, and resourceful in everything we do. Being thoughtful and responsible towards each other, our clients, and our community is a priority. We put people first and embrace a "flat" organizational structure, where everyone works together without rigid hierarchies or communication barriers.

A Bit of Background

Founded in 2012, our headquarters is situated in the heart of downtown Chico, CA, within a historic 100+-year-old building's old "grand ballroom." As a small, homegrown agency, our team members tend to stick around for the long haul. We're a hybrid organization, with some working remotely, and others, like our sales team, based in our Chico office.

Our weekly "team time" via Zoom allows us to celebrate milestones, acknowledge achievements, and laugh at our own blunders – because, hey, we all make mistakes! Occasionally, we'll snap screenshots during meetings for some extra fun, and if it's your birthday, you'll likely be serenaded by our enthusiastic voices.

Perks of Joining Our Crew: Enjoy working with a close-knit team of kindred spirits, indulge in free pizza from the town's finest pizzeria, experience personal growth, gain inside sales expertise, and form lasting friendships!

Job Description



"Ideal for someone trying to get into a sales position out of college. This internship has been one of the most rewarding positions I've ever had. Not only have I learned so much about the industry, cold-calling, and what it takes to be successful, I've also learned just as much (if not more) about myself." -Glassdoor

*NOTE: WE WILL BE REVIEWING APPLICATIONS AS THEY COME IN.

SEEKING AMBITIOUS 2025 SUMMER INTERNS! Over the years, we've had the privilege of mentoring many exceptional interns, and we've meticulously crafted our sales internship to make sure our interns gain vital sales skills and experiences to enhance their resumes.

Our Inside Sales Internship offers a challenging yet rewarding experience for those eager to learn sales. As an Inside Sales Intern, you will support our dedicated sales team in acquiring new clients for Social High Rise. You'll be trained in social media philosophy as it pertains to restaurants, and you'll undergo comprehensive sales training to master lead qualification, objection handling, closing strategies, and maintaining a robust sales pipeline.

BOTTOM LINE: If you are interested in learning how to sell, this internship is specifically tailored for you. And this is NOT a marketing internship, you will be exposed to the social media industry, social media marketing, and startup culture, because that's our industry, which is a nice bonus!

To get the most out of your experience, we recommend a commitment of two semesters (Spring, Summer, or Fall). Historically, interns have seen their earnings double during their second semester, and they leave with a more extensive sales experience, stronger resumes, and more job offers after college.

This internship is challenging. Challenge accepted?

  • An accelerated rate of learning, since we act like a start-up and we move quickly

HEAR FROM OUR PAST INSIDE SALES INTERNS:

"I would definitely recommend this internship 100%. I got all the skills I expected and even more skills I wasn’t expecting. Cold calling for 12 hours a week isn’t easy, but I don’t think an internship should be easy—and that’s exactly why it was so worth it." -Zoe

"You’re not just running errands here; you get real sales experience, like cold calling and learning how to say things the right way. It’s the kind of stuff that comes up in every job interview and really impresses people." -Quin

"I honestly learned so much more than I thought I could from an internship. Social High Rise believed in me and gave me the tools to believe I could also succeed in sales." -Alix

"This internship rocks, and taught me so much!" -Luis

"They were such kind mentors. I learned so much from this internship! I will definitely come back and visit!" -Aisling
