Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
My role involves cold calling and sending emails to prospects. My role specifically reaches out to companies with no existing relationship with Adobe. As well as this, I research the companies and industries I am contacting, to fully prepare for a call or email.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Yes, I was given the responsibility to manage accounts given to me by Account Executives, where I was expected to research and contact the accounts, in a structured cadence. I was also given the responsibility of creating and presenting a presentation to my team and managers.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
I have developed my communication skills, as this is key to being a BDR. Asking questions and being able to obtain information from customers is vital for future development. My Excel skills have also significantly improved, as use Excel on a regular basis. I also developed my research skills, which I need in order to prepare for calls.
