Summer 2016
Company: Launch Local Inc. (Pittsburgh, PA)
Position: Sales Intern
Job Description: This past summer I had a great opportunity to learn more about the world of sales. I had the pleasure to work for Launch Local for two months where I was considered a sales intern. Every morning our team would meet at our office to sharpen our sales pitch and discuss positive goals for the day. From here, we were sent to a location where we would spend the entire day going door to door selling Pittsburgh Pirate ticket packages for all employees. We sold packages ranging from individual tickets to group tickets. At the end of our day we would arrive back at the office and write down our positive and negatives of the day and our goals for the next day.
What I gained from this experience:
- Stronger Communication skills
- Stronger Presentation skills
- Confidence in myself
- Great time management
- Work in a team setting
- Negotiation skills
- Outgoing and likable
