Sales Research Intern
Jun 2026 - Aug 2026
- Maintained Salesforce CRM research for a supervised sales internship, checking 35 company profiles against public filings and account-owner notes; corrected eight outdated contacts before the team used the list for customer outreach.
- Summarized six shadowed customer discovery calls into questions, confirmed facts and unresolved items; the mentor accepted all six after review, while pricing commitments and qualification decisions stayed with the account executive.
- Under supervision, kept Salesforce opportunity stages tied to confirmed buyer actions, mapped decision-makers and procurement dates, and separated committed revenue from deals lacking a verified next step.
- Under supervision, owned account-planning follow-ups using Salesforce opportunity notes, resolving gaps between customer discovery, the value proposition and the agreed buying process.
- Under supervision, built a team-selling handoff using customer-confirmed success criteria, enabling the solution specialist to demonstrate the agreed use case without repeating discovery.

Independent portfolio · mentor-reviewed
Feb 2026 - Jun 2026
- Completed a mentor-assigned Salesforce Customer 360 account planning lab for a fictional insurer; traced one lead from Sales Cloud to a Service Cloud support case and annotated three missing customer fields without contacting live prospects.
- Observed a mock customer discovery interview and drafted value hypotheses from the supplied scenario; the mentor corrected two assumptions about claims-processing delays, and the revised notes kept unanswered questions separate from confirmed facts.
- Prepared a value proposition for c-suite decision makers in the simulation, comparing a phased rollout with a full replacement; the reviewer accepted the narrower option after the presentation made migration cost and compliance dependencies explicit.
- Documented a mock end-to-end sales process from discovery to procurement, assigning team selling responsibilities to an AE, Sales Engineer and delivery partner; a review checklist caught two missing approval gates before the final handover.
- Calculated a practice ACV model using 80 seats at an assumed £100 per seat per month (£96,000 annually); separated a 20-seat upsell from renewal value and compared the projected £24,000 increment with a hypothetical £120,000 quota, not booked revenue.
- Created a 30-day territory identification plan from 12 public company profiles and prioritized five for whitespace prospecting; each draft outreach cited a business trigger and a source, while invented contacts and private account data were excluded.
- Revised the customer communication pack after two mock objection-handling sessions, separating confirmed product capabilities from open implementation questions; the mentor approved the final discovery brief, presentation and handover checklist as portfolio work.
- Compared two simulated strategic alliances for implementation support, using delivery capacity, escalation ownership and a customer satisfaction follow-up plan; selected the narrower partner scope after review rather than inventing partner ratings or claiming a real agreement.
- Owned the simulated account review using a structured discovery rubric, resolved contradictory buying assumptions and completed a proposal with explicit customer success criteria.
