Advertising Internship Jobs in Ohio (NOW HIRING)

Sales Associate

Cincinnati, OH

What This Role Is

Advertising Vehicles is hiring motivated individuals who want a real career path—not just a paycheck. Through hands-on coaching, and a proven sales system, you will build the skills and experience needed to pursue a six-figure sales career.

This structured six-month development role includes real sales experience, clear performance milestones, and ongoing support. High performers may advance early into a Local Sales Associate role with a higher base salary and commission eligibility. Continued employment beyond the program is based on successfully progressing into that next-level role.

Advertising Vehicles has grown into a premier nationwide fleet graphics provider helping businesses of all sizes turn vehicles into high-impact marketing assets.

Who We’re Looking For

We’re not for everyone — and that’s intentional.

You’ll thrive here if you:

• Want to level up your life and career
• Are outgoing, coachable, and competitive
• Want to win and expect results from your effort
• Bring grit and persistence
• See challenges as problems to solve
• Thrive in a fast-paced, in-office, team environment

Why Join Advertising Vehicles?

• Paid, hands-on training with industry leaders --$40,000 starting salary, with higher earnings and commission opportunities at 3-6 months
• Long term career path — where top performers can earn $150-400k+
• Comprehensive benefits: medical, dental, 401(k) match, PTO, and more!
• Fun, competitive culture with contests, rewards, and recognition
• Travel and promotion opportunities as we expand into new markets

What You’ll Do

• Learn How to Identify New Business Opportunities: Build foundational prospecting skills by learning how to research local businesses, identify decision-makers, and begin outreach through cold calling, referrals, networking, business directories, and other outbound methods.
• Learn How to Build and Manage a Sales Pipeline: Receive hands-on training in how to organize prospects, track activity and next steps in the CRM, and understand how opportunities move from initial outreach through quoting, closing, and order execution.
• Develop Discovery and Client Communication Skills: Practice how to ask effective questions, identify client needs, communicate the value of fleet graphics and vehicle advertising solutions, and build confidence in sales conversations.
• Build Consistent Sales Habits: Learn how to manage daily sales activities, including calls, emails, follow-up, meetings, and other outreach efforts, while working toward clear development and performance milestones.
• Learn Alongside Experienced Sales Leaders: Partner with account managers and senior sales professionals on quotes, follow-up, client handoffs, project coordination, and client communication while developing full-cycle sales skills.
• Prepare to Advance into a Local Sales Associate Role: Build the product knowledge, activity habits, sales skills, and confidence needed to progress into a Local Sales Associate position. High performers may have the opportunity to advance before the six-month development program is complete.

What It Takes to Win

• No prior sales experience necessary; just a strong willingness to learn, accept coaching, and improve consistently through feedback and effort.
• Bachelors/associate degree in business or related field and/or customer facing work (internship, job, athletics, etc.)
• Strong communication and presentation skills
• Tech-savvy; proficient in MS Office
• Valid driver’s license and access to a personal vehicle; ability to travel locally (20–30%)
