Being on the phones, reaching out to customers to tell them about deals and offers and being available for the customers to call you whenever they're in need of assistance
I was able to learn was life in sales is like, what it's like to meet and beat targets set by management. Became more confident in speaking to customers
During my time on placement I was treated the same as everyone else in my team I wasn't made to feel like a "placement" employee
Support and guidance was easily accessible from fellow colleagues on the same level or even managerial level. It also helped that everyone was very friendly
Atmosphere was always good, everyone helping each other out to meet the teams goals in order for everyone to get their commission. It was a friendly environment and fun to be around
10/10 can't wait to go back
Yes
If the opportunity comes, take it! It will help you get an insight into how a major organisation is run. The company is full of support and no two days are the same meaning you'll be able to learn a lot more than you can ever imagine
