As marketing director and intern coordinator of Slingshot, a company that provides sales-trained interns to small and large businesses, it is my job to root for our Indiana interns. I know I post on this topic alot, but there really is something to be said about bringing new, talented energy into an existing team…or even a non-existing one…(just ask my boss
). That being said, if you answer yes to any of the following questions, perhaps you should consider looking toward interns for YOUR company.
1. Do you want a cost-effective way to grow your business, especially in this economy?
2. Have you considered interns, but hold back because you don’t really think you have the time to train them?
3. Are you just doing way too much on your own, and you need some help?
4. Is your sales staff so bogged down with paperwork/follow up/referral call that they can’t get out and sell?
Okay, here are my questions: If your company is not using interns, why not?
And if you ARE, what are some of the experiences you’ve had with them? Did you end up hiring any?
