First blog post ever, here goes nothing!

(Drum roll please....) Welcome to my blog! I decided to start a blog in order to capture ideas, random thoughts, funny memories, cool videos - really anything! I just started working in the Customer Connection Rotation Program (CCRP) at Intuit and have a lot of memories already in my first week:

  • Brad Smith (Intuit CEO) met with CCRP participants. Brad shared a lot about Intuit's vision to go "social, mobile, global" to transform the lives of our customers.
  • I visited 3 retail stores to view Intuit product displays (Target, Costco, Office Max)
  • I went on a "Follow-me-home" to meet a QuickBooks user, who showed us how she uses QB in her 3-person business for servicing restaurant equipment.
  • The QuickBooks Online Challenge presented each CCRP participant with a fake business to setup on QuickBooks. It's been 5 years since my last accounting course - and boy did it show! Those darn long-term-liabilities...
  • CCRP Hoe-Down! (I'll leave it at that - let's just say there were cowboy hats, bandanas, and ribs).
  • Rounded out the week with the Business Challenge - where we pretended to be land developers building "Somerset Village" - a student family housing project for Intuit University. Teams worked cross-functionally with a marketer, developer, finance analyst, customer support agent, and project manager. I was the project manager!

This week we kicked off our training on QuickBooks Online to prepare for customer call-backs, the online community, live chat, and email interaction with the customer. Stay tuned for more to come!
