• Write and refine sample telephone scripts for outreach to real estate professionals.
• Conduct structured mock calls and role-play discovery, objections, qualification and appointment-setting; receive documented feedback.
• Practice calling scenarios for Realtors and other marketplace users and professionals, including appropriate explanations of how service requests and provider matching work.
• Observe a supervisor handling actual sales calls; discuss the caller’s approach and prepare call-analysis reflections.
• Where counsel approves the internship structure and applicable calling rules permit, participate in occasional closely supervised educational call exercises, with a supervisor responsible for the relationship, follow-up and any operational outcome.
• Practice CRM disposition and call-note documentation using sandbox or anonymized records.
• Complete a capstone: design a provider-outreach call playbook, role-play a sample campaign and present lessons learned and recommended improvements.

Program Structure & Supervision

A named supervisor provides weekly training, call-role-play feedback, a written learning plan, midpoint review and final evaluation. Schedules accommodate academic commitments. Any real outreach is pre-approved and supervised, and the supervisor—not the intern—owns operational results. There is no promise of employment after completion.

Calling Compliance, Confidentiality & Systems

The intern must complete approved calling-compliance, privacy, data-security and professional-conduct training before exposure to prospect information or any live calls. KnockTheDoor will determine whether the proposed campaign is subject to federal or state telemarketing, consent, recording, suppression and calling-time rules. No personal dialing accounts, unapproved lead exports or unsupervised customer/provider outreach. Applicable internship, NDA, acceptable-use and work-product agreements may be required.
