1 Learn from your peers

One of the best ways to learn about the industry is to talk to your fellow sales interns and colleagues. They can share their insights, challenges, and tips on how to prospect effectively. Ask them about their target market, their value proposition, their sales pitch, and their tools and techniques. You can also observe how they handle objections, follow-ups, and referrals. By learning from your peers, you can avoid common mistakes, discover new opportunities, and improve your skills.

Estudar a fundo a empresa, qual a vis?o, miss?o e os valores. Pra vender o que a empresa vende, você precisa comprar a ideia. Segundo ponto é estudar o público alvo, conversar com colegas de trabalho para aprender sobre o dia a dia. Ouvir e ver colegas trabalhando e anotar os pontos importantes, sess?es de “roleplay” onde se assume o papel de “vendedor/cliente” pode ajudar muito q desenvolver as técnicas necessárias.

2 Research your prospects

Another important step to learn about the industry is to research your prospects before you contact them. You want to know who they are, what they do, what their pain points are, and how your solution can help them. You can use various sources of information, such as LinkedIn, company websites, industry reports, social media, and news articles. By researching your prospects, you can tailor your message, demonstrate your value, and build rapport.

Researching your prospects is bread&butter of the process. Treat it like a research job. The more relevant information you have - the better. The second problem is to calculate and use it properly.

3 Use a CRM system

A CRM (customer relationship management) system is a software that helps you manage your sales pipeline, track your interactions, and organize your data. It’s a vital tool for any sales prospecting intern, as it helps you stay on top of your tasks, follow-ups, and results. You can use a CRM system to segment your prospects, schedule your calls and emails, set your goals and metrics, and monitor your performance. By using a CRM system, you can optimize your workflow, increase your efficiency, and measure your impact.

4 Experiment with different methods

There is no one-size-fits-all approach to sales prospecting. Different methods work for different industries, markets, and prospects. That’s why you should experiment with different methods and see what works best for you and your situation. You can try different channels, such as phone, email, social media, or video. You can also try different strategies, such as cold calling, warm calling, referrals, or content marketing. By experimenting with different methods, you can test your assumptions, learn from your feedback, and refine your tactics.

Calling is you best teacher. Try out different methods to talk to prospects, engaging in a variety of conversations. - Do some calls as if you were calling a friend, be chatty and only focus on building relationship. This will decrease the fear of being rejected. - Do some calls following a clear guided script with Unique Selling Propositions and methodological follow-up questions. This will increase your market knowledge and prepare you for being a respected expert. Once you feel familiar and confident doing both, start mixing them and you will be ready to take off.

5 Ask for feedback

The final tip to learn about the industry is to ask for feedback from your manager, mentor, or coach. Feedback is essential for any sales prospecting intern, as it helps you identify your strengths and weaknesses, learn from your mistakes, and improve your performance. You can ask for feedback on your sales process, your communication skills, your results, and your goals. By asking for feedback, you can show your willingness to learn, grow, and succeed.
