DESCRIPTION:
There are endless sources of information about client activity via different newsletters, subscription services, and good old-fashioned observing of competitor's sites. This information is scattered and as such salespeople spend a lot of time gathering it individually in a manner that is duplicative with their peers. Our advertising sales intern will be spearheading a project to gather, centralize, and re-distribute this information to the sales team daily. This project will provide the intern with a wealth of information about our business.
