Testing The Waters Of The Insurance World As A Management Intern

Important life lessons

One of the hardest aspects of working in Sales is the rejection you have to face. Aditya had his fair share of rejection during the internship but he decided to learn from the experience. There was a point when he felt that the tunnel was quite long, but he could see the light at the end of it. “After consistent efforts, I was able to convert a few clients and that really felt good. I think in sales it is okay if you are not able to convert leads, but if you are not putting the efforts into lead generation then you are in trouble. Through my efforts I became confident of my skills and will take that self-belief with me in the future,” he says thoughtfully.

Beating the blues out of the hurdles

After having his SIP experience, Aditya believes that internships are integral for management learning because they give you exposure to real-life challenges. He has already worked on two live projects and is presently working on the third at his b-school. According to him, the internship has now taken that practical exposure to a higher level. “Today I realise that to do well in the industry you need to have the right approach. You need to keep evolving, using smart and efficient techniques to get to your goals. Once you have managed to do that, there is no stopping you in your corporate journey,” he ends brimming with confidence.
