Emmanuel Nordelo ’20 Elite Pest Elimination –\u00a0<\/em>This summer I have had the opportunity to become a marketing and sales associate for an up-and-coming company called, Elite Pest Elimination. I have had the chance to work with one of my wrestling coaches, Mr. Castro, and his brother, Joey Castro, the company\u2019s manager. As a marketing and sales associate, I have had a couple of memorable moments in the last four weeks. Mr. Castro has made me responsible for the creation of our website, along with the creation of our fonts, web page address, etc. So far, the most memorable memory I have if the first \u201cproject\u201d Mr. Castro put me in charge of. Without mercy, Mr. Castro immediately made me in charge of contacting one of their clients that lives in London in order to have him create multiple fonts and our company logo for the website. I remember having to send this client information about our company and having to gather information about his efforts in negotiating a price. I had to use Google Currency Converter to find the correct conversions from U.S dollars to Pounds. Having to deal with the time change was also another obstacle I faced; I actually had to use the World Clock App on my phone in order to set up alarms that alerted me when to email our customer. Aside from this experience, I have also had to contact many other clients in order to present our services to them. I personally feel that my internship experience is much different from others because we do not actually have a set location\/office where we meet. Every day, I wake up to an email from my bosses explaining what those day\u2019s goals are and I have to accomplish them without having anyone there to push me and make sure I finish them. So far, I have truly enjoyed my internship experience; which surprises me since I have never really been interested in marketing prior to this experience.\u00a0 I would like to thank Wabash College, as well as the WLAIP Program for the amazing opportunity that they have been able to present me with. I am sure that I have developed skills in the last four weeks that will help me later in life. I am excited to see what the next 4 weeks of my internship brings me and what new things and new people I will meet because of it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
