This is the 4th part of the series where each member of the Core Committee Business Development 2013 known as "The Dogfather" describes and writes about how the last 3 months have been for them as a part of this dynamic team.

Core Committee Business Development 2013
So it was the night before the OC announcements and I was waiting for the results. Just before that, I get a call saying that I am now a part of the Core- Committee Business Development. Whoa! That’s how it started.
We came together as a team, full of passion and excited to work! Still, I was very scared. I had never done something like this in my life. Moreover, we had the pressure of getting loads of money for the events lined up! How were we going to do this? I was questioning myself, why am I here? How will I, who does not even know the ‘C’ of cold calling, help to get in money?
Later on I realized that I was here for a reason. It was not just about money, it was about learning. I got to know tips and techniques which I would never have known had I not been here. From making the database to cold calling everything was a completely new experience.
We were thrown out of offices while doing walk ins :P, still we managed to get the numbers we wanted! :D It was here that I was amazed by the synergy within the team and how each member was willing to help each other out.
To be honest, there were times when I felt irritated. Times when no cold call was a success, no meetings were being scheduled, and over all people saying that the CC is good for nothing. But I feel that more than anything, I have seen myself grow more confident over here.
CC was not the only thing we were responsible for, we also had our respective departments, college, family and what not. Still, we managed all of them without hampering anything!
Leaving work aside, this was a place I made friends for life! When I reflect back on this term, I can still see the happy faces at the first CCM and yes the chill out too :P
The CC term has been a roller coaster ride for me, sometimes I just wanted to leave everything and go away but the next moment I loved the synergy between us! We still have a long way to go and I still have to learn a lot from this team.
All I would say is, Thank you! :)
