Micro-Internships

These Micro-Internships provides members of your sales team with on-demand support for tasks that aren't the best use of their time (but are perfect for a highly motivated college student). 

 

In addition, these projects provide a better way to identify, engage, and assess potential candidates for full-time roles or summer internships, leading to improved conversion, hiring, retention, and other outcomes.

Featured Projects

As a busy professional, you can have any of these completed on-demand by highly motivated college students or recent graduates.
Not only is this a valuable resource, it also allows you provide opportunities to Career Launchers from all backgrounds. 

 

Lead Generation

Identify 25 companies/contacts in a defined market that fall under our ideal customer profile. Once identified, provide the company name and contact information for a director-level or above decision maker. Contact information should include: name, position, phone, and verified email. In addition, please include company size and other information that we will define.

Company Summaries

Review 25 existing contracts (to be provided) and summarize key terms. This includes expiration, obligations, renewal, pricing, etc.

Prospect Research

Research and segment lead-gen lists (approximately 100 individuals) based upon past interaction on our website and email engagement. Deliverables include name, company, role, and contact information.

CRM Lead Cleansing

Review data on 20 existing leads (list to be provided at project kickoff) to ensure information quality including current company and role. Provide updated information for those where the information is no longer current (including new company, role, and contact information). In addition, determine the individual who is currently in that role at the company and provide contact information.

LinkedIn Research

Using LinkedIn, conduct sales research on 20 target companies. Provide a list of key contacts with whom to arrange an initial appointment and/or product presentation. Identify any second or third degree connections our company may have.

Strategic Partner Identification

Identify 15 potential strategic partners (influencers, organizations, etc.) you think we should develop a relationship with. Once identified, you will provide specific information based off criteria we will provide (eg core offerings, additional features, team size, etc). Additionally, we would like you to justify why you think each would be a good partner based on value alignment, brand synergy, etc.

Competitor Prospecting

Research 15 companies that use our competitors’ services. Once identified, please provide the contact information for a relevant contact and a brief justification as to why you think their company should switch from the competitor to our service. Highlight potential synergies we have with the company and the pros of using our service. Additionally, identify potential objections they might have to switching providers and suggestions on how to overcome them.

List Crunching

Review the list of corporate attendees at an upcoming conference. Determine the name of the CEO or other executive, contact information for that individual, a brief description of the company's offering (ie market, product, etc.), and recent press highlight that may impact our ability to sell to them.

What are Micro-Internships?

Micro-Internships are short-term, professional assignments that are similar to those given to recent college grads or interns.

  • Typically require 10-40 hours

  • Have a discrete deliverable

  • Available year-round as needed

  • Provides an easy way for students and recent graduates to gain experience and build relationships with your company

While we were focused on just getting some help on a project, we quickly realized that the student was incredible, and ultimately hired her as a summer intern. We saw her work ethic and skills, and got an inside track on hiring her.

This is the 'anti-staffing firm.' I set the price for the assignment, picked who I wanted, and when I decided to hire her, there were no fees.

Not only did the Career Launcher shine, he excelled. He took the brand to a new level and challenged our group to think outside the box. Could not have been more pleased or grateful for the opportunity to work with this motivated individual. It's all about opportunity and Parker Dewey gives students exactly that. I look forward to our next project!
