I work in Central Finance as a Financial Analyst and decided to take part in Project Pulse in my first few months of working with the company. It was a great opportunity to meet people in different roles around the company and see a day in the life of the sales team. The project involved visiting smaller retail outlets and getting our stock onto their shelves.
I went to Sutton with the Contract and Sales Devt Manager, as well as my Buddy at the company. We decided to watch the Contract and Sales Devt Manager first to watch the master at work as it were! Then when we felt confident enough, pushed on by the rest of the team, we took it in turns to approach small outlets and present our sales pitch to them.
The day really boosted our confidence and was a great laugh! It was good to get out of the office and meet the customers and get a taster of what the sales team experience on a daily basis. I would definitely do something similar again!
