    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
  • This placement involves applying a variety of skills, including general business acumen and ExCel. The majority of the work has had me assist the sales team in the early sales stages, such as acquiring contacts and initiating the sales process. I have also had the opportunity to understand Adobe's other related departments and its products in great detail.


    Skills

  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
  • I have learned skills in sales, in particular by understanding the journey of a sale, creating pipe and demand. I have also been able to learn about Adobe's powerful products that are extremely relevant for the digital world. Working with Adobe's marketing tools has also helped me to build my understanding of digital marketing to a much greater extent.
