Traci O'Brien successfully completed her summer internship with Sustain Architectural Representatives, working 40 hours per week for 8 weeks. During her orientation, she learned about the commercial construction industry and Sustain's role as a sales and marketing representative. With minimal direction, Traci built an extensive database of local counties and municipalities that forms the basis for targeted marketing. She also assisted with copywriting and coordinating direct mailings. Traci is described as a very eager learner, exceptionally professional, and comfortable reaching out to prospective clients. The letter writer highly recommends her for marketing or sales positions.

Re: Evaluation of Internship for Traci O'Brien
To whom it may concern:
Traci O'Brien has successfully completed her 2011 summer internship with Sustain Architectural
Representatives. She worked a 40 hour week for 8 weeks; In fact she worked beyond our agreed time
period in order to put final touches on her project.
Our orientation consisted of several meetings both one on one and with my industry partners. The
purpose of the orientation was to familiarize her with the commercial construction industry and our role
within it. She quickly grasped our role as sales and marketing entity with an understanding of our
customers and our marketing and sales responsibilities to them. Her understanding evolved through
use of our online construction data service and meeting with my industry partners. We discussed at
length how to target market the products we represent to the project type for which they are best suited.
With her understanding of our role and our target marketing efforts, we gave her the task of building a
database of local counties and municipalities. This database is the basis for our target marketing of Site
Furnishing for Wausau Tile and Traffic Print for Civil Green Materials. With only vague direction, she
identified key decision makers, located their contact information and built an extensive database. She
assisted in copy writing of the direct mailing letters and coordinated the mailings through Wausau Tile's
marketing department.
Traci is a very eager learner and is exceptionally professional. All of her efforts have exceeded my
expectations and her work will continue to be utilized by our company for the foreseeable future. She
showed a unique ability to be a self starter and was comfortable reaching out to prospective clients.
For these reason, I would highly recommend her for a position in marketing or sales within any
industry. Having said that, I would hope to retain her services for my future endeavors.
Best regards,
Doug Hahn
