Intern for the Win-Win-Win

Life Science Marketing Radio

Can you really make serious progress with an intern? The answer is a definite yes and it can work out for the intern, the host company and a vendor.

Bob Lempke is the Chief Commercial Officer at Mobile Locker. He’s been on the podcast before. On a catch-up call, he told me this great story about working with an intern at one of their customers, Allergan Aesthetics, and AbbVie company.

Sunethra Kannan was the intern. Her assignment was to help set up the Mobile Locker user accounts as they were rolling out inside the company. Long story short every internship comes to an end, but in the meantime, she becomes an expert at this for Mobile Locker.

You won’t regret it.

When she goes back to school at the University of Illinois, Bob decides why shouldn’t they hire her part-time (fitting with her schedule) to continue the work and do more of the same for other customers.

This becomes the win-win-win for all parties involved. They both agree this is a model that work in a lot of places. Let me know in the comments if it can work for you.
