Here’s everything you need to know about getting your sales career up and running after graduation.

We've divided our program into three rotations that are designed to give you a comprehensive look at our customers, products, and people. Here's a breakdown of #BLPnation.

ROTATION 1

Global Customer Operations

Support members and clients while gaining an in-depth knowledge of our products to better understand how to help them succeed.

How GCO prepares you for sales:
✓ Problem solving
✓ Adaptability to different communications styles
✓ In-depth LinkedIn product knowledge

ROTATION 2

Talent Acquisition

Learn to identify talent by sourcing with our flagship product, Recruiter. You’ll learn how to influence candidates to join our team by engaging them with the LinkedIn story.

Sales skills you’ll acquire:

✓ Engagement techniques

✓ Complexity management
✓ Interpersonal communication skills

ROTATION 3

Sales Development

Once you finish BLP, you’ll move on to work as a Sales Development Representative for 12-18 months. During that time, you’ll get exposure to different opportunities within the sales organization—and once you’re done, you can apply for other sales roles within our Global Sales Organization.

Major benefits of sales development:
