CEO Intern Cast Diary

              I honestly can’t believe its July already. Just as we wet our feet in the world of cryogenics and small business management, the end is starting to push forward. With so many challenges, meetings, tasks and goals to complete we needed to organize them. In a simple but innovative approach, Charlie suggested we consolidate all of our personal calendars onto one huge calendar. Now populated by corporate tours, lunch meetings, dinner appointments, sales challenges, and a big red X signifying our last day, we finally have everything in front of us. Like any successful CEO, we must prioritize this mass into time guided goals.

In my mind, we have two major assignments. The first is to initiate and complete five sales challenges in St. Louis, Indianapolis, and Chicago. The second is to generate a report which proposes an action plan to generate 300 Below’s revenue within a reasonable time frame. Individually, each of these could take months to successfully complete. From this point, we have three weeks. Just a little bit of pressure…

As these next weeks progress, each day has never become so valuable. In order to complete our sales challenges, we must engage potential clients on the phone to set up a formal presentation in their office. In order to do so, we must research each company, their industry and craft specific, targeted sales pitches. Not to mention, in our free time (do we have free time?) we must analyze, design, and blueprint the various factors in further improving 300 below.

I think a nice vacation wouldn’t be a bad idea after all of this. ☻
