9 Tips for a Successful Call during Summer Internship Research

9 Tips for a Successful Call during Summer Internship Research

So, you’ve bagged a Summer Internship in the Sales and Marketing domain. The project requires you to call/ meet people to gather “insights” from them. These people can be customers/ consumers/ influencers/ distributors or any other target group. If you have already started contacting people yourself, you must have surely faced multiple rejections. And rejections are daunting. The fear of rejection would hold you back every time you dial a number on the phone. However, this is one essential skill which you need to master and muster enough courage to convince the person on the other line to talk, consider your request and grant you what you require.

Final Placements : IIM Calcutta - Class of 2014

Final Placements : IIM Calcutta - Class of 2014

The final placement report of IIM Calcutta is here. The report below given to us by the Placement Committee at IIM Calcutta only reaffirms that it is among the top 2-3 campuses when it comes to career opportunities. The best roles in Banking and Consulting offered to Indian candidates are offered to IIM Calcutta graduates among a couple of other schools. However, Sales & Marketing was the sector where highest number of graduates will begin their career.

Final Placements : Class of 2014 - XIMB - PGDM (BM, HRM and RM)

XIMB has always blazed its own path among the B-schools of this country, nurturing the growth of top talent with the best of both business acumen and thought leadership. Paving the way for this elite pool to be matched with the prestigious organizations of their dreams is one of the achievements XIMB has always prided itself on. And continuing with this grand tradition, the institute has scaled even greater heights as was witnessed during this year's final placement process for XIMB, Xuberance'14.

Final Placements : IIM Indore - Class of 2014

Final Placements : IIM Indore - Class of 2014

IIM Indore completed placements for what is possibly the biggest ever PGP batch to graduate out of an IIM. The number of 475 includes 30 odd students from the PGP batch at Mumbai as well. (This would come as a surprise to many and one wonders if the students from the flagship PGP at Indore campus protested against it.)

Final Placements: SPJIMR Mumbai - Class of 2014

Final Placements: SPJIMR Mumbai - Class of 2014

We are happy to note that SP Jain has provided placement data to us in the InsideIIM format. SP Jain has been publishing its final placement report, audited by CRISIL, in the IPRS format since 2011 (read the 2011 report here and the 2012 report here ). We were unable to find the 2013 report in the IPRS format. At InsideIIM, our view on the IPRS format is that although it provides an amazing level of detail about salaries, it suffers from a drawback because it does not incorporate profile information (i.e. the job profile for which the candidate was hired). We appreciate the forthrightness of SP Jain for reporting its placements in the IPRS format, but we also believe that the quality of job profiles is the most critical input while evaluating the placements at a B school. The InsideIIM placement report provides data on job profiles, and we are delighted to have this data from SP Jain from this year onwards. We hope this is the beginning of a long and fruitful relationship.

Final placements - FMS Delhi Class of 2014 (unverified report)

Final placements - FMS Delhi Class of 2014 (unverified report)

FMS is still smarting under perceived slights from InsideIIM last year. They said they have taken a unanimous decision not to have any relationship with InsideIIM. They said that in our reporting, we have been biased against FMS and favoured IIM L and XLRI. We would like to once again reiterate that we are not biased in favour of any B school. Our placement reports always focus on the achievements and the positive aspects of the placement season. Our other research like alumni reports also does not discriminate against B schools. Our portal sees more enthusiastic participation from some B schools than others, but that is not in our hands. We certainly hope they would change their mind at some point, and start co-operating with us. Without their co-operation, we are left with little option but to look for information from public sources. We introduce this report with the caveat that the data is not verified, and readers are requested to act with caution while making decisions based on this information.
