The Business Leadership Program (BLP) for Global Sales recruits top talent with the vision of transforming early in career professionals into sales professionals and then future business leaders.

BLP is Semester 1 of The LinkedIn Sales Academy.  Our program is 6.5 months and consists of two core rotations, sales and leadership specific trainings, exposure to our senior leaders, and a long-lasting community.  Upon completion of the program, Associates will transition into a full time role in Sales Development with product knowledge, foundational sales skills, and relationships to build a successful career at LinkedIn and beyond.

"Problem solving motivates me, which is a crucial aspect of sales at LinkedIn as we seek to help businesses tackle real challenges. Going into Sales has given me the opportunity to strengthen core skills in relationship management, communication and account prioritization. Furthermore, I've gained first-hand experience in the effective organization of a SaaS sales force, which I believe will serve me well in future endeavors."

"My time in BLP was incredibly pivotal in preparing me for my sales career. During the rotations I learned about our products and our clients which set me up for success in selling our solutions. The overall experience has given me a boost in my skills and confidence. I help customers with broken processes by consulting and recommending a solution that is the right fit for their needs. Being the 'fixer' that I am, Sales is both enriching and exciting!"
