Shapelog Summer Internship

Dear Listeners, During my internship we go to meet Cash and Joe the two best buddies in college. Joe went on to be CEO of a mattress company. So lets talk about Joe when he grew tired of doing the same thing he went home to complete a 70+ work week. Yes 70+ hours his mattress store is mostly based online but its based in Brighton. He does have a small furniture store in North Carolina which is doing pretty well. Before he knew he wanted to be a CEO he committed 16-17 years at GM it took him that long to realize his worth but luckily he did. How he got started you ask? He found a web store software service. And he invested 1,000 of his check for a few months and contact dealers from various areas of Michigan to start a partnership. One person out of like 100 people decided to do it. They spilt the profit 50/50 Joe did a lot of work but his partner did the investing in the relationship. Revenue started at a couple thousand a month and used that profit to grow his company larger. He did

Dear Listeners, Our CEO Brian of Shapelog is out of town on business this week so we decided not to meet at the office. We decided to save on gas and meet closer to our houses break up the work together and send the rough drafts out to Brian for approval. I am so eager to show Brian the flyer I made in illustrator to promote our fitness class we are reinventing in August. I think this new stragey we are going about is really going to bring people in.  Check back in tomorrow to what I have to say about advice I got from the CEO of US Mattress and Cash Butler and extremely successful business man building his own company called Clarilegal !

Dear Listeners, Our CEO is leaving on a business trip and we finally finished all the work that was assigned to us two weeks ago. So we had to have a small meeting with him about our new plan of business. Every time we get a new todo list I feel more involved with the company. Our new order of business is to create a write up for the new fitness class we are implementing at Anytime Fitness.  We need to create a sign up sheet most likely in excel. As well as event Britz as a way to sign up for the classes and pay the fee. We need to create a email with the plan of action to send to the trainers at Anytime Fitness. Come up with good prizes to give out to the most improved. And a social media advertisement to get people to sign up. I have took on the opportuniy to create the flyer in adobe and the t-shirt design if we aren't just using the one with just our logo. Now I have to spark my creative side and this will be difficult but exciting! Kind Regards, Dasha Jones

Dear Listeners, I've learned so many new things I should be asking myself at least every month to better myself as an employee. The question you should be asking yourself is How can I become a better asset. I want to work on myself and become better. The three things you should focus on is trust, authority, and respect. So how I became a better asset?  Is going out on a whim. Andrea and I initated a business opportunity. We met with an employee from a close Ann Arbor company. And he gave us amazing advice on how to get our foot in the door in a company. How to stand out and move your way up. As well as some tips to become a better asset to our company. The meeting went so well that 30 minutes turned into an hour! With him willing to do a follow up meeting with someone from Shapelog to build a connection. Being able to make an impact like that as a intern and junior in college is exciting. And it reminds me how much I love business and marketing. This is one way how I showed my

Dear Listeners, The Shapelog team has ventured to Canada and Andrea and I wish we were there as well. We are wishing them all the luck in the world to close this sale! Currently Andrea and I are still getting up to meet at 9A.M. We are at Biggby coffee to meet a employee of Nustep who is also a Eastern alumni. We are going to learn a little bit more about him and Nustep itself. We are extremely excited and we would hope this ends in a closed sale. We wouldn't close the sale but we would refer him to speak to a team member of Shapelog. I love my company and I love being in this internship because I really feel apart of the company and that we are actually making a difference. Kind Regards, Dasha Jones

Dear Listeners, Shapelog is headed to Canada to present to a company who may not be named. But its very exciting to see Shapelog practice their pitch in the office. Shapelog goes over their pitch about three times one in office and then separately in the hotel. And I wouldn't put past them that they won't go over this in the car on the way to Canada. When Shapelog does a pitch they bring the entire team in the CEO,COO, CIO, product engineer,  and data analyst. It is a team of 6 not including us as interns. Shapelog values including all of their team members during the presentation. Andrea and I the interns  even had to introduce ourselves as interns during the practice pitch. One trait that Shapelog has that I love as a company. Is that critisizm  is taken properly. The members discuss and agree or disagree if something should be taken out or put in. I really think this is how Shapelog gets along so well and why they are so organzied as a start up. Check back tomorrow for mor

Hello Listeners !! Yet again another Monday call with lots of exciting news ! Somehow I confused the data scientist with the COO. For those of you who don't know what COO means it is the chief of operations and our COO is located out of Chicago. What he does he manages part or all of the daily operations of a business. A topic discussed that we spoke to me was what if they say "no thanks". What do we do ? Then one person suggested to ask why are friends or foe, a threat or just irrelevant. Why does this company not want our product. Which I thought were great questions and a company should be able to answer. Shapelog is also excited about another upcoming event they have been planning for a while. Each person in the company has a chance to lead the demo and this is time it will be the data scientist. He said he is very excited to do the demo but he would like advice from everybody on what he should speak on. Also how to go about the presentation. There will be more news
