About Austin Kort

Aspiring sales professional with hands-on experience in customer-facing roles, leadership development, and revenue-supporting operations, currently pursuing a B.B.A. in Marketing with a concentration in Professional Selling at the University of North Georgia.I bring a strong foundation in communication, relationship building, and execution from working in fast-paced, high-volume environments and leading student organizations. In my current role at Wolf Mountain Vineyards, I support peak-hour service operations, collaborate cross-functionally during large-scale events, and assist with wine club and B2B event sales—developing the ability to uncover customer needs, manage objections in real time, and deliver a high-touch experience.Through leadership roles in UNG Sales Club, including Vice President and Community Outreach Officer, I have gained exposure to prospect engagement, event-driven recruiting, and peer leadership within a competitive sales-focused environment. These roles strengthened my interest in consultative selling, pipeline development, and performance-driven growth.Previously, as a Student Worker in UNG Leadership Programs, I supported digital marketing initiatives, created outreach materials, and contributed to recruiting and retention efforts for over 200 active members—building early experience in messaging, follow-up, and stakeholder communication.In parallel, I have held senior leadership positions within Sigma Chi Fraternity and the Interfraternity Council, including President and Vice President of Recruitment, where I led teams, coordinated multi-party events, managed external relationships, and helped raise for the Huntsman Cancer Foundation. These roles sharpened my accountability, professionalism, and ability to lead through influence.I am actively seeking SDR/BDR internships or entry-level roles where I can apply my communication skills, competitive mindset, and coachability in a metrics-driven sales environment. Known for strong work ethic, adaptability, and ownership mentality.
