Recent updates to previous posting:
1. PAID INTERNSHIP -- $10.00 dollars per hour to interns.
2. LEARN & WORK FROM HOME: If an intern seems responsible enough to work from his/her own home, and agrees to be supervised and trained by telephone as well as website, and is willing to submit weekly reports on progress, we will allow them to do that instead of having to come out to the Fifth Room location on Route 8 in Gibsonia. It is always an option to come to the office in Gibsonia for the internship as well.
I. Internship description (Learning portion of subject matter for this internship) ---
1. One-on-one training on exactly how to interact with prospects, and capture their interest. This training will be conducted both face-to-face weekly, as well as via website at the interns convenience.
2. Self-defense for salespeople IE learning all the different techniques and strategies that prospects use to control the interaction between themselves and the salespeople, and even more importantly specifically how to defend against these techniques utilized by the prospects. This information is worth its weight in gold for any future marketing or sales career oriented person, because it directly accounts for the vast majority of lost sales that occur on a regular basis. Mastering these techniques will significantly increase a salesperson's potential for making sales as well as their income.
3. Practical experience in approaching and interacting with potential prospects via telephone and email. The practical experience functions for the intern will consist of either following up a prospect who at one time voiced some interest in wanting to purchase a product, or a prospect who has already purchased some products, to see if there is any potential for additional sales. The important point here is that at no point in time, will the salesperson have to cold call or attempt to close a sale. They are just getting practical experience in talking with prospects as follow-ups to someone who is already voiced an interest in this offering.
