1. Making outreach calls to prospects: I’m learning how to confidently cold call, qualify leads, and start meaningful sales conversations. 2. Shadowing top sales reps: I get to observe how experienced reps handle client meetings, objections, drop-ins, prospects, bank huddles, and follow-ups so I can learn their strategies and routines. 3. Building my pipeline: I'm using tools like Salesforce to track leads, follow up, and stay organized throughout the sales process.
