Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
As a sales support intern at HPE my day to day responsibilities include forecasting and creating reports for my team to help them get the research information to help sell keep on track to hit targets. However this isn't all you are limited to by any means. Through my internship I have been able to host and create events, manage my own accounts, dealing with customers and also as a sales intern you get the opportunity to join a program tailored to building you the sales skill you need to return to the industry post graduation
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
During my placement at HPE I have been given wide responsibility. From managing the day-to-day tasks to also having opportunities to influence my teams strategy by designating accounts for the new fiscal year. I have also had the opportunity to plan events such as end of year award ceremonies etc. Along with this I have been able to build experience working with my own patch of accounts.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was
