Business Development Executive Review

Responsible for management and execution of Microsoft Surface products, including Surface leads for E-Business. Daily tasks include forecasting, supply management, sales, sales assistance and communication with Microsoft Surface and pipeline management.

I was given full roles and responsibilities since day one and always treated as a full time colleague, rather then an "intern".

I have developed my knowledge vastly in the IT distribution industry. I have been able to develop communication, problem solving and interpersonal skills massively. Similarly, further developed workload management and sales techniques, which has overall made me more confident. I have gained knowledge in companies integrated SAP/CRM systems. Learnt to take initiative under pressure and successfully lead internal/ external incentive campaigns. Likewise gained product and commercial knowledge for Microsoft Surface.

Received plenty of training and guidance throughout my placement from my line manager and senior colleagues.

Due to the pandemic I spent most of my placement work from home. Regardless, company culture and atmosphere is always positive and fun.

I thoroughly enjoyed my placement due to wonderful and welcoming colleagues at TD.
Also had a great line manager who really helped me develop my personal and corporate skills. My team and I played a vital role for Microsoft Surface TD in FY21, biggest achievement of my life so far!
I was part of fun incentives throughout the year, also the most memorable first and last day!
