PAID Internship in Marketing-Business communications

PAID Internship in Marketing-Business communications
 
This is a PAID internship opportunity that would be of particular interest to students interested in marketing, business communications and/or sales careers.  Please note that there will be no travel or sales expected of the intern, even though they will be taught how to perform sales functions in detail. Anyone interested in taking advantage of this educational opportunity, as well as an opportunity to develop excellent referrals for future business and career opportunities, should contact Dr. John Mazzola at his email address, dr.johnmazzola@psutraining.com.  Please contact him ASAP if you are interested.
 
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.
 
II.   trainer in charge of training and supervising interns---
 
The trainer in charge of training and supervising the interns is Dr. John Mazzola, who possesses a PhD in psychology from the University of Pittsburgh, and a Masters degree in motivational research from Duquesne University.
 
Dr. Mazzola has owned and designed one of the leading sales training programs in the nation, entitled Personal Success Unlimited, for the last 33 years. It has trained such clients as PPG, General Motors, JB hunt trucking, Sysco foods, and many other companies throughout the entire United States.
 
All trainees in the intern program will be trained and supervised one on one, as well as given access to a complete line of videos on the corporate website. Interns will be graded on a pass/fail basis.
 
III.   internship requirements---
 
This internship will require absolutely no selling of any products, nor travel to visit a prospect.
 
IV.   Time required per week---
 
The time required to successfully complete the internship requirements will be one to two days per week, either Tuesday and Wednesday, or Tuesday and Thursday, at the discretion of both the intern as well as the school the intern is attending.
 
V.   Company hosting the internship program ---
 
The company hosting the internship program is fifth Room.Com, located at 5410 route eight, Gibsonia PA. It is easy to reach since it is situated on route eight, approximately 3 minutes beyond the Turnpike exit in North Hills.
 
This company is one of the nation's leading providers of gazebos, ramadas, pergolas, designer bridges, cabanas, designer sheds, pavilions, pool houses, and any other type of custom outdoor structures.
