Read more9 pieces of advice on how to win a lead
My first encounter with âsalesâ was in the primary school where I often spoke in the name of the class to call off the planned exam or to switch a verbal assignment for the next day. It hasnât been always a successful shot, but it was worth trying. đ
I feel like this little experience helped me prepare for my current role – Sales Assistant at Inchoo.
Now, being some time with Inchoo and communicating with leads and clients from all over the world on daily basis, Iâve gained a decent experience even though Iâve been working here for just 8 months. With that in my mind, I came up with an idea to share a few thoughts (you can call it – tips) on how to win a prospective client.

There are many reasons why Inchooers like Meet Magento events, most obvious one being traveling, sightseeing and, of course, meeting new people.
However, the most important one is helping Magento community grow by sharing our knowledge with other Magento enthusiasts, or helping newcomers learn why Magento is just the right platform for their business.
We had exactly that kind of opportunity in Prague last week where we went for the first ever Meet Magento Czech Republic which was hosted by Neklo.

Read moreSmashingConf New York 2015 – a review by Inchoo
Life at Inchoo is not all about hard work. It is also about having fun doing what you love, acquiring new skills and upgrading existing ones to get the big picture and getting the chance to learn from the experience of others. Learning from experiences of others is an important part of individual personal growth and success which benefit greatly to everyone; from said individuals, their team, Inchoo, and ultimately our clients who get to reap the fruits of oneâs experiences and views. After all, all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.
Following that philosophy, Inchooers can often be seen attending and speaking at various conferences in various parts of the world. Gathering knowledge through experiences of others, traveling and getting to see the world, meeting people and eventually understanding what makes someone tick – all of that results in always fresh ideas that help us solve the problems we encounter every day.
Read moreMy Sales and marketing Internship at Inchoo
My month of April was reserved for a completely new experience in 2015 – sales and marketing internship at Inchoo. I spent four weeks in Gdansk, sales & partially marketing team named after the city in Poland (all of the Inchoo teams are named after cities across the world).
This team is the starting point for all forms of business – no matter if it’s smaller SEO jobs or making a web shop from scratch, sales & marketing is where the inquiries come to and where communication transforms into project that later on finds its way to Inchoo’s designers and developers.
Previous interns have already praised their experience at Inchoo so Iâll try to keep it to a minimum. One of them actually started working full time just as I was starting my internship. An excellent example how your internship can become something more at Inchoo.
