Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
I would support Account executives. This would involve pulling reports and finding data for their accounts such as revenue, key stakeholders that they are looking to target. Looking to add value where I can by doing adhoc tasks that saves them time so they can focus on revenue generating activity.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Yes, I presented RISE to a key customer for SAP, I also became a short term SDR contacting real customers after being trained how to do so. I was trusted at end of Quarter to help teams close deals whether that was chasing approvals or helping create quotes that had been changes last min in negotiations.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was
