    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
  • Supported the sales team on a range of processes from deal negotiation to deal papering. Involved creating field orders for completed deals and creating deal negotiation grids. In addition to this, the role would involve updating the market with product information and gathering feedback on the products from clients.


    Skills

  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
  • I definitely feel I have developed new skills as well as improved upon existing ones from my time in the role. My organizational skills definitely improved as I was able to handle my own workload at times when it was busier than usual. My attention to detail was also enhanced as the role required having to look at for small details on spreadsheets and in systems.
