We are a new player in a very old industry that is more than ripe for change. We know our product works and our users are finding a tremendous amount of success. What we don't know is how to properly take this to market in a space that relies so heavily on outdated sales/marketing models. Historically, our industry has relied on cold-calls, personal relationships with sales reps and plain old inertia, where the customer just does what they've always done. We are trying to define a new approach to sales marketing that reflects our innovative product.

We are looking for a team of students that will be able to immerse themselves in our marketplace and identify new opportunities for lead generation. Some students will focus on specific areas of our marketplace, others will spend time working on overall market research and others on direct outreach via social media. In addition to individual responsibilities, the group will work together to present a sales marketing recommendation at the end of the course.

WiddyUP is focused on ensuring students are supported throughout this project.

Students will be part of the WiddyUP team over the course they're engaged in this project, including attending certain team meetings, having access to a WiddyUP Slack channel, insight into strategy and direction, goals + benchmarks, mission + vision, and direct access to all team members at WiddyUP. Including the co-founders of WiddyUP.

Students will meet with WiddyUP team members regularly - likely on daily basis. Either by video conference or at a minimum by Slack.
