I was a sales intern at Salesforce, helping my team of Business Development Representatives do better outreach to get in touch with key decision makers at existing customers for potential upsell opportunities. Learned the art of sales research, strategic sales, sales as a numbers game, sales funnels the world of AEs, SDRs, BDRs, upselling in SaaS / PaaS. Also got the chance to navigate through a larger corporate culture, which was one of the bigger challenges for me.

While on the search for meaning, for friends, for something to light the fire in my belly, I joined DSP, a "business fraternity". This was one of the best decisions I made during my time at Chico State. I joined and became obsessed with working and improving, in my first role focused on Alumni Relations. Eventually, this impacted everything from finance, to passive recruitment + getting my brothers job opportunities. I got a spread sheet with 1000+ names of our alumnus. I would call alumni brothers at ungodly hours (for a college student), e.g. in the evenings when I should be getting drunk, early on a Saturday morning when I should be hung over, catching up with alumni, reconnecting people, connecting alumnus with active members for mentorship, job opportunities, organizing "visits / business tours" to Lund Family Farms and Workday. I established the 2nd legitimate stream for $$ via donations. I identified alumni sponsors and got checks for ~$5,000 to finance a trip for ~7 people to travel to Seattle for the big national congress for our fraternity. This was the second time in my life I took a blank slate and made something out of nothing. The thing that makes me most proud is the fact I helped a few of my fraternal brothers get jobs from alumni who I "rekindled" relationships with. I was elected as the "Collegian of the Year" in my group for my dedication, and for the impact I made, which was kinda cool. I got involved in a bunch of stuff and went from Alumni Relations to become "2nd in command", basically I ran recruitment efforts, and brought a group of awesome people together to recruit the largest number of new members we had seen in over 4 years. As Steve Jobs said in his commencement speech, you can never connect the dots looking forward, you can only connect them looking backward. When looking back and connecting the dots, I see this as the foundation of my love for serendipity, connecting people together, and my love recruitment.
