Day 5 of 30 days LinkedIn show up challenge Growing up, i was always the go-to person for solving puzzles - whether it was organizing family plans or helping friends figure out tricky situations. This problem- solving skill has been invaluable in my Sales journey. At Lexicon Place USA, I use it to understand customer pain points and conduct market research. By digging deep into what customers need and analyzing trends, I can confidently present our products as tailored solutions. This approach not only enhances my understanding of the market but also helps me build strong, trusting relationship with clients. #Lexiconplaceusa #30dayslinkedinshowupchallenge #day50f30internship #Salesrep #SocialSaturday #Careergrowth

Having worked at Penybont for over a month now, the adaptation period has been fantastic, but what are the fundamentals of industry adaptation, especially at a club such as Penybont? 1. Clarity. Working within a close knit group, often short numbers working big hours clarity will get you through difficult tasks at the beginning of life in the workplace, especially as a student/intern. Have you: -Told coaches your background? -Informed them of your schedule, how available are you? -Told mentors your objectives, why join the club and work day-in-day-out? 2. Optimising As a student with access to the best software, cameras, experts and qualification the entry into industry will not be with the same access, but is “a man only as good as his tools”? Not completely, performance should be optimised in all situations, so engage fully in discussions and use all of the available software you have, whether that be an iPhone with a tripod or a licensed analysis package, do everything you can to improve performance, as the role of the analyst states. 3. Enjoy it Although it’s ‘work’, it’s your first opportunity to excel in the work environment so take in as much as you can, and become part of a team. I can’t wait to continue on this path and get better by the day. I’ve been lucky enough to be surrounded by great people and workers that are commited to their field, which only drives motivation. #industry #analysis #internship #advice

Day 4 0f 30 day LinkedIn show up: Today's journey in market research. As a remote Sales Rep at Lexicon Place: I dedicated today to digging into market research, and it was eye-opening! Here's what i specifically tackled: *I crafted and sent out a survey targeting our current clients. The focus? understanding their top three challenges with our products. So far, the feedback shows a significant desire for faster support response times and more personalizes service. *I spent time analyzing our top three competitors. They've been using a lot of testimonials from satisfied customers, which has led to noticeable engagement. I'm inspired to suggest we incorporate some of own customer success stories in our marketing. * While going the data, i noticed a recurring theme in customer comments; they appreciate when we reach out proactively. This insight has reinforced my goal of enhancing our follow-up strategies to ensure no consumer feels overlooked. Lessons Learned: Tailoring survey questions based on specific customer pain points yielded richer insights. *The market is always changing . Regularly updating research can help adapt quickly. Engaging with customers before they reach out can make a significant difference in their experience. #Lexiconplaceusa #day4of30daysintern #30daysLinkedInshowupchallenge #Salesrepresentative #Internship #Careergrowth

Prepare like a pro in just 2 minutes! It may make a world of difference. I was coaching a student last week and they asked me personalized questions based on my LinkedIn profile. They knew a little bit about my experiences, past roles, projects and interests, and wove that into the conversation. Needless to say, I was impressed - everyone likes having their accomplishments noted! 🤩 I'm not saying they only spent 2 mins looking at my profile, but that's about how long I've gotten used to spending to make a big impact on my preparation for a networking chat. It will make the convo far better than "tell me about yourself?" When I was an intern, I used to be scared to ask questions based on the other person's past experience - I was scared of coming across as a stalker. To be clear, don't come across as a stalker... Try this instead: "I saw you worked on XYZ / worked at XYZ company / volunteer at XYZ org... Tell me about that, I'd love to learn more!" - or - "I was impressed by your speech you gave at our town hall - I'd love to hear more about how you prepared and decided what to speak about?" The student I was talking with last week nailed this approach. Well done - you know who you are 😁 #internprep #internquestions #interncoach

Clarity done well is an inside - outside work. . . We often take on clients for Sales Training. . . And end up half way through doing a lot of work on them. . . The 'internals' are far more leveraged in sophisticated Sales Processes than one would think. . . #sales #salescoaching #salestraining #kingdombusiness #kingdommindsetprotocol #kingdom

Day 6 of 30 days LinkedIn show up challenge This week as a Sales Representative intern at Lexicon Place USA was a whirlwind of growth and new experiences. We kicked off with the on boarding process, which gave me a comprehensive overview of the company's products and Sales strategies. It was exciting to dive right in, but transitioning to remote work came with its challenges. Learning to manage time effectively and stay connected with the team virtually took some adjustment, but i was able to adapt and settle into the flow. One of my main goals this week was to stay intentionally active on LinkedIn, using the platform to build my personal brand and expand my professional network. I dedicated time each day to engaging with sales leaders, sharing insightful content, and participating in discussions that resonated with me. I also joined a few Sales Strategy groups, where i discovered a wealth of tips and emerging trends that i started integrating into my sales approach. In addition to staying active on LinkedIn, i also took part in the #LinkedInshowupchallenge, where i shared personal stories and reflections on my journey as a Sales Intern. This helped me connect with a broader audience and showcase my dedication to growth and learning in the sales space. On the research front, i conducted a deep dive into our target market. I analyzed competitors, identified gaps we could potentially fill, and examined customer pain points through reviews and feedback from similar products. This research gave me valuable insights into where our product can provide the most value and how we can tailor our messaging to better resonate with potential customers. While the transition to remote work presented some initial hurdles, like managing distractions and balancing flexibility with productivity, it also allowed me to sharpen my focus and time management skills. By the end of the week, i had developed a productive routine, blending research, learning and active engagement on LinkedIn. Overall, it was a challenging yet rewarding week-filled with networking, learning, and laying the groundwork for my future success as a Sales Representative intern. #Lexiconplaceusa #day6of30 #30dayslinkedinshowupchallenge #Salesrep #Intern #Careergrowth

My biggest takeaway from the Den talk series with John Rosar Empowering VS Fixing As an SDR there are an infinite amount of potential obstacles Cold calling can feel uncomfortable.. Finding the right contact information can be challenging.. Often people just don't want to talk to you.. With so many potential obstacles it is critical that SDR's learn to problem solve quickly and that leaders are equipped to empower rather than fix. Insert the 1:3:1 framework 1 Problem 3 Potential Solutions 1 Proposed Path Forward As obstacles hit SDR's can leverage this framework to creatively problem solve and then leverage their sales leaders to validate or collaborate. #sales #earlycareer #interns #Revgen

Networking as a student is necessary. comment “ network” , follow Esther Akamnonu and i’ll send you the free e-book i put together that teaches you how to build meaningful connections with anyone. Here are 5 things i learnt about networking at the Collision Conf So the Collision Conf was the second tech conference i attended as a sophomore computer science student and these are very important tips i learnt from attending the event: 1️⃣ Appearance : your appearance matters a lot whilst trying to network with people in the positions you dream of. In a tech conference, you’re expected to dress to dress according to the occasion, carry yourself with charisma and act like the people you look up to. For example; i spoke to an executive of a company and the next day he recognized me as we walked past each other , told me he remembered me clearly and would really love for us to continue the chat on LinkedIn because of the way i carried myself. 2️⃣ Research attendees : Before the conference, research attendees , speakers, the respective companies they work for and what you like about the company. Identify key people you’d like to meet or organizations you’re interested in. If you are not prepared, you won’t be able to hold any valuable conversations with them. 3️⃣ Craft your Elevator pitch : craft a brief introduction about yourself , talking about your skills, current school, interests, your goals and what you are looking to achieve at the conference. Be natural, don’t recite it like a poem :) 4️⃣ Initiate Conversations : if you don’t initiate conversations at an event , you would likely not connect with anyone as everyone would be looking to talk to the ceos, investors , executives and recruiters. Approach people with confidence and a smile , ask questions about their workplace/ interests and what they hope to achieve in the conference. Listen attentively , show genuine interest and don’t cut them short. 5️⃣ Follow Ups : After the conference, follow up with the people you met. Send personalized LinkedIn messages referencing to your conversation and where you met. Keep the conversation going by sharing relevant resources and ideas pertaining the organization the work for. Ps: don’t jump into asking for a job/internship. #collision #techevent #intern #internship #networking #techevents #connect #computerscience #startups
