Week 9: The One with All the Urgency

7/25/16 – 7/29/16

This Monday marked the beginning of my last two weeks at GK. This week was off to a very busy start. For one, my supervisor is on vacation this week, so I must essentially try to do part of her job and my job. Secondly, I sent out a “two weeks notice” email to everyone in the marketing department, requesting that if they have any projects left for me that I can accomplish before I leave to send them my way. And they did. So on Monday, I knocked the last of the certification linking for Cassie. I also was trained on SalesLogix by Ruth to complete a project for her later in the week. I continued working on my IBM certs as well, and I am nearly finished with them!

On Tuesday, I began working on some web content for Zane. I am updating the Partner-Delivered Courses section of the website. I also further analyzed the flash promo’s successes so that Ruth would have more positive metrics to use in her meeting. As part of my job taking over Wendy’s job for the week, I aided a few people in their queries concerning their purchase orders. Finally, I found a master list of all of GK’s named accounts and began comparing them to the companies found on the Fortune 500 list for sales enablement.

On Wednesday, I worked closely with Charlie and Dave to create three separate surveys for the both of them. This was an urgent task, as all three surveys needed to be sent out on Friday at the latest. I also wrote up a fact-sheet for Ruth to take to here flash promo meeting. Again, all of this was due urgently. It was a busy day!

On Thursday, I finished my IBM certs just in time for my meeting about them with Jenee and Caitlin. We went over some of the more complicated parts, and fixed as many tweaks as we could find. Our next steps with be to copy the entire folder over to Canada’s website, and relink all of the links that don’t convert. I am excited to almost be done with these! Next, I worked on this sales enablement data with the Fortune 500 and edited Dave and Charlie’s surveys some more.

Finally, on Friday, I finished the Fortune 500 list first. Then, I finished Dave and Charlie’s surveys and all of their edits. Best of all, I made a few suggestions of my own to improve the surveys, and they loved my ideas. And I finished the day by relinking the certs on Canada’s website. Overall, it was a tough week that tested my ability to work under pressure- and I believe I did very well!
