Part 1: Make Some Calls
Using the list of places you researched for a possible internship site, make at LEAST 5 phone calls – if you get turned down all five times, MAKE 5 MORE CALLS. Use your Killer Cold Call Script to get the conversation started. Remember to take notes!
If you secure a lead to an internship site, and they ask you to bring a resume by or to talk to them in person, GO! but check out with us and the office first... (you may also stop at that point in the makeup assignment).
After you make your phone calls, email Craft, Sinks, and Sullivan the following:
- List the names of all the places you contacted, including phone numbers
- Who did you talk to? (List names and positions)
- What was the result?
