Immersive 12-week internship blends real-world training, mentorship, and skill-building simulations to prepare students for careers in sales
Demonstrating its commitment to education, mentorship, and innovation in the sales profession, Allego, Inc., the leader in AI-powered revenue enablement technology, today announced the successful completion of its inaugural sales internship program, developed in collaboration with Babson College, the #1 school for entrepreneurship education. The 12-week program offered students hands-on exposure to the art and science of sales development, blending real-time call shadowing, artificial intelligence (AI) simulations, and mentorship from Allego’s high-performing revenue team.
“It was incredibly rewarding to mentor the Babson interns and share the art and science behind successful sales,” said David Ashe, Director of Sales Development at Allego. “Watching their curiosity evolve into confidence week after week reinforced the importance of programs like this—not just for the students, but for the future of the sales profession.”

Three Babson College seniors—Jolie Rojik, Jesus Alanis, and Jonathan Rosario—participated in the program, rotating weekly between live call observation and guided sales training. Designed to reflect the realities of today’s modern sales environment, the curriculum covered DISC profile analysis, cold call framework, objection handling, and time management. Students also listened to live cold calls and engaged in skill-building simulations within the Allego platform to reinforce their learning.
“The ability to expand my network with Babson alumni, many who are very successful in their sales careers and further learn about the culture and structure of their company has been an exhilarating and captivating experience,” said Jesus Alanis, a senior at Babson College. “Overall, this was a great experience, one that allowed me to learn more about the dynamic of sales and the sales enablement industry.”
The program was part of a broader collaboration between Allego and Professor Vini Onyemah’s Professional Sales Practicum at Babson College. In addition to the internship, Allego hosted a class visit, offering students an inside look at sales, marketing, and customer success in action.

Several students expressed interest in pursuing full-time sales roles after graduation—an early sign of the program’s long-term impact.
“Experiential learning is the cornerstone of meaningful education,” said Professor Onyemah. “Allego’s internship program gave our students practical insight into the modern sales landscape while reinforcing key principles we cover in the classroom. The result was transformative for many of them, both personally and professionally.”
The program also inspired students to reframe how they view sales. Many arrived with preconceived notions of aggressive tactics, quotas, and cold calls, but left with a new appreciation for sales as a discipline rooted in consulting, problem-solving, and entrepreneurship.
The success of the internship demonstrates more than just a productive collaboration—it highlights Allego’s broader commitment to elevating the sales profession. By providing students with meaningful, real-world experience, Allego is helping redefine how the next generation views and enters the world of sales.
“At Allego, we believe in building confident teams, and that includes the next generation of Professional Sellers,” said Mark Magnacca, President and Co-Founder of Allego. “This program reflects our commitment to experiential learning, professional development, and equipping emerging talent with the tools they need to succeed. We plan to continue expanding our experiential learning initiatives and continuing to strengthen partnerships with academic institutions.”
This program is one of many ways Allego invests in emerging talent and deepens the connection between academia and industry—helping students develop the skills and confidence needed to thrive in today’s sales landscape.
