As an Inside Sales Representative, the Titans provided me a foundational understanding of the sports sales process, much of which I still use today. I was able to equip myself with the necessary skills to learn, grow and advance in the sports industry and has helped me tremendously as a professional. I appreciated the ability to interact with many departments across the organization, which allowed me to expand my knowledge of how sports organizations operate.

Class of 2020
As someone who had never worked in the sports industry or sales before beginning the Tennessee Titans' Inside Sales Program, I can confidently say it was instrumental to my career development. The program is an incredible way to get your foot in the door of a premier NFL Franchise as well as kickstart a career in sales. The mentorship and training you receive provide you with a strong foundation in sales practices, team building, problem-solving, and more. Perhaps the most influential aspect of this program though was how willing and eager they were to help me further my career. When the time came for me to move on from the Titans' organization my Inside Sales Manager made sure he did everything possible to find me a new role and set me up for success in the future. I highly recommend this program to anyone interested in working in sales or the sports world.

The program was so important to my career because it gave me top-level experience in the sports industry that you simply cannot get in any other sport across America. It laid out an important, and very firm foundation for my career. It's the best foot-in-the-door to the sports industry today. You'll learn how to be a sports professional, how to hustle in this industry, gain valuable connections around the League, and so much more.

The Inside Sales Program to me means a strong foundation, long-lasting friendships, and memories that will last me a lifetime. This was my first opportunity in the sports world.

Class of 2019
Personally, it meant everything to me, it gave me the opportunity to get my foot in the door, to see if this was the path that I wanted to take in sports. This was my opportunity to come in, learn the ropes and take advantage of the resources given to me to excel. My ultimate goal was to come in and earn a full time position and be on top of the leader board in sales. It gives you an opportunity to get your foot in the door, and it's up to you to take advantage of that opportunity. You get to be part of a world class organization, that people know and respect. You also have the ability to come in and learn from different Account Executives, pick their brains and learn their best practices.

I can't say enough good things from my experience in the Inside Sales program with the Titans. From the top-notch leadership, to the people within the organization and the culture that they have installed, it's hard to find a better place to get your start in the sports industry. This program gives you the skills that you need to grow personally and professionally to continue to advance your career. They were able to give me the resources and experiences that I needed to take that next step and I'll always be thankful for that. I still take the lessons that I learned and have continued to implement as I have moved on to my new role. I am very grateful for my time with the Titans and would recommend the program to anyone that wants to get their foot in the door. Best of Luck!
