Acknowledgement
First of all, I would like to thank TOTAL PARCO for giving all the young
students an opportunity to have a corporate experience. The dedicated staff
and recruitment team for the internship program speak volumes about the
activities of Pakistans 3rd largest petroleum firm. The tasks were allotted
according to the specialization and majors of the students and this helped to
understand the basic functions of departments.

Next, I would like to thank the TOTAL PARCOs Regional Manager-South. My

supervisor was very helpful and guided me at every step. Though there were
some issues initially, but all of the issues were sorted out and the interns
were given special desks to complete the tasks. The Human Resource
department played its part in ensuring everyone got a project. I would like to
appreciate Mr. Amir Ahmed Khan and Mr. Kamran Iqbal for their guidance.

Introduction to Assignments
Potential Clients
The regional manager, Mr. Amir Ahmed Khan, gave me an assignment to
develop a list of potential new clients, based on their annual demand for
petroleum products. After completing the list, I was instructed by the regional
manager to contact each of these firms representatives in purchasing
department, and schedule a meeting to discuss business proposal.
Client Feedback
During internship at TOTAL PARCO, my responsibility was to update
customers about their order status.

Inform regional manager about the order update from oil refinery depot
in Multan, and Karachi.

Conduct a feedback about the order form client.
Develop reports about customers service experience.
Client Meetings
In order to provide some on-field sales experience, Mr Amir Ahmed
Khan regularly accompanied me to visit clients to help understand how
to negotiate with customers. After every meeting, the supervisor
instructed to
Make notes about meeting and topics discussed
Make a report and a provide an in-depth analysis about client
Vendor Registration
According to TOTAL PARCOs policy, vendors have to register
themselves by submitting required documents. Regional Manager
instructed to contact vendors and provide them relevant information

regarding vendor registration process. The next step was to collect

documents from vendors and submit to relevant departments in TOTAL
PARCO. In case of any shortcomings in documents, vendors were
immediately informed to rectify the documents.
Conclusion and Recommendations:

To conclude, I would say that I learnt a lot form the internship. Starting right
from the point where I had no idea about the working of a corporate entity to
the point where I had a good idea about how commercial sales are done in a
professional manner. The entire head office had a culture which was
prevalent in each and every department and it evoked a sense of personal
effectiveness and presentation skills.
With regard to the internship process, I must say that it was nevertheless a
work which I was eager to do. I applied the basic marketing business concept
to understand the sales functions
9 | Page
As part of recommendations, I would like to say that the internship should be

closely monitored and that interns should be allowed to have more access to
information to perform efficiently.
I hope the relevant authorities at IBA would forward these suggestions to the
HR department of TOTAL PARCO, Pakistan.
