“Who We Are & Why We’re Giving 15 Scholarships”
The Path to Fortune 500 Sales Starts Here
Every ambitious salesperson dreams of breaking into the upper tiers, the Fortune 500 boardrooms, high-tech innovation hubs, and enterprise-level deals that move industries. Yet, most never get the mentorship or access they need to make it happen.
That’s why Pinnacle Sales Academy, founded by Mark Collins, a Fortune 500 sales mentor and high-performance coach, is giving back through 15 fully funded Pinnacle Foundation Scholarships designed to help the next generation of elite sales professionals rise faster than ever before.
If you’ve ever wondered how to land a Fortune 500 sales job, build executive-level confidence, or stand out in the most competitive sales environments, this is your opportunity.
What Is Pinnacle Sales Academy?
Transforming Ambition Into Achievement
Pinnacle Sales Academy was created to fill a major gap in today’s sales education landscape: bridging raw talent with proven Fortune 500-level strategy.
Mark Collins built his career mentoring Fortune 500 sales teams across industries from tech giants to global service leaders. Through that journey, he recognized a truth few talk about: natural talent isn’t enough anymore. Success in enterprise sales requires systems, mentorship, and mindset, the kind that can’t be found in generic online courses.
“Sales isn’t just about closing deals; it’s about creating trust at scale. The best salespeople aren’t just sellers, they’re business advisors.”
— Mark Collins, Founder, Pinnacle Sales Academy
That philosophy drives every Pinnacle program: developing professionals who think, communicate, and perform like top-tier sales executives.
Why We’re Giving 15 Scholarships?
Building the Next Generation of Fortune 500 Talent
When Mark launched the Pinnacle Foundation Scholarship, the goal wasn’t just to help people learn sales. It was to help them transform their careers and lives.
Many talented professionals never reach their potential because they lack access, to mentors, to elite training, or to a professional network that opens doors. The scholarship program is designed to remove those barriers.
Each of the 15 scholarships provides:
Full access to the Pinnacle Sales Academy’s core certification program.
One-on-one mentorship with Fortune 500-level sales mentors.
Real-world simulations and case studies from enterprise sales scenarios.
Career coaching and interview prep tailored for Fortune 500 and tech sales roles.
“I’ve seen too many incredible people stuck in roles far below their potential, simply because no one showed them the roadmap. This scholarship is our way of changing that.”
— Mark Collins
The foundation exists to unlock access, accelerate growth, and empower salespeople to join the top 1% of performers.
