Primary job responsibilities;
Lead sales generator, manage client database, develop new marketing and sales strategies, write a sales protocol, schedule meetings with clients, network with university programming and other organizations
I was eventually working on the business plan for CampusLive. This involved an executive summary and constructing financial statements that could be used for angel investments and other funding sources. TIC America is the next competition.
I would rate this experience as excellent. There were times when I felt a lack of direction with what I was working on. There were often many projects happening at the same time and I did not know what specific project was a priority for the sales team. I would like to have seen more communication between managers and the interns.
I would recommend this site to other students because it was a very good experience for learning how a small start up company operates. Excellent staff who are supportive and welcoming to your ideas.
Regarding changes to my placement, I would like to see more group meetings with staff members so that assignments could be directed to the sales interns. I felt that I would like to have seen more of a group effort with our sales team. There was often an inconsistency with our sales approach towards clients and leadership was not always apparent among the entire organization.
To future students I would advise them to not be afraid to challenge the companies employees with their own ideas. Don't be afraid to stand up to the current business strategy and try new approaches to your job.
