Supervision
Adequate supervision is important element of the student work program at Vector Marketing, and can present special concerns for students
who are taking on the challenges of a sales position. It can be tempting to conclude that interns working in
sales, or similarly independent positions, "report to no one." In reality, that is far from the truth.
The academic integrity of the internship can be assured if the student is accountable to someone for his/her
actions, and has someone to give them guidance in their work.
That is certainly the case with Vector Marketing’s Management Development Internship Program. Vector
interns have daily interactions with the local office and at least once-weekly performance consultations with
an office manager. In addition, a Vector intern has a variety of options for documenting his/her work
commitment and performance. These include:
- Completion of an evaluation by a specified # of clients who report on their satisfaction with the presentation/service/product.
- Performance evaluations from office managers and other company leadership with whom the intern interacts.
- Reports on average order size, closing ratios, referral business, office sales, and contest achievements.
If you have any questions about the supervision guidelines for the Management Development Internship Program,
