FRIENDLINESS: Megan constantly compliments my choice in clothing and fashion. I really find that to be an admirable trait in people.
GUIDANCE: Megan has been like a mother to… no, wait. She’s too young for that. No, she’s been like an older sister figure. I’ve learned a lot from her.
HELPFULNESS: Megan has taught me all that I’ll ever need to know about how to build Conversion Analysis presentations, Results presentations, FunEx presentations…. etc.
INDIVIDUAL UNIQUENESS: Megan is terrible at keeping plants alive. She also has red hair. That is unique to the WiderFunnel office.
NOT BEING COOL: Megan is not one of the Buffalo Club’s most decorated members
FRIENDLINESS: Anish is always friendly, cordial, and nice to everyone. He also doesn’t drink alcohol. There is a statistically significant correlation here.
GUIDANCE: Anish, will you teach me German? Anish > Pimsleur Approach?
HELPFULNESS: Anish is a one-man technical wizard at WiderFunnel. He helps us all look good in front of clients.
INDIVIDUAL UNIQUENESS: Anish has more Superman t-shirts than anyone else I’ve ever met.
NO SENSE OF STYLE: Anish has more Superman t-shirts than anyone else I’ve ever met.
The last two months have been an absolute pleasure for me. I have learned so much about conversion optimization, strategy, account management, entrepreneurship, small business, and how much fun it is to start drinking at 4:00 every Friday.
When I arrived, I wasn’t sure what to expect. I had only really met Chris at a conference we both attended last October or November, and WiderFunnel sounded like a really intense, highly structured place. Admittedly, I had doubts about whether I would fit in at this internship.
As time went on, I realized that calling WiderFunnel a company seemed inappropriate. Too corporate. Heck, even calling it a “team”, as we do with our group email address, seems even a tad too much. I honestly would rather refer to you all as my WiderFunnel “family”. It was evident from day one that everyone here really cared about one another and there was no internal bickering, gamesmanship, or drama. Everyone pulled together for the sake of everyone else, and the motivation seemed to simply be because everyone liked working with one another.
Two months later, I can say this with confidence: WiderFunnel is my favorite job that I’ve ever had (even if it wasn’t actually a “job”, per se).
You all owed me nothing when I was here. As an intern, it would have been well within your rights to ask me to file reports and fetch coffee all day. Yet you all took the time to go above and beyond for someone who was only guaranteed to be here for 2 months. You were all patient with me as I learned, and gracious when I made mistakes, even when I made ones that you were probably quite annoyed with. I am humbled and honored that you all took the time to make my experience at WiderFunnel an amazing one.
For all that, I can only say two words: thank you.
Thank you for all the advice. Thank you for all the laughs, stories, and weekly awesomeness every Friday afternoon. Thank you for your kindness, sense of humor, perspective, and openness. Thank you for making me feel like I was one of you every day that I was here.
Really, all I need to say is this: Thank you for everything.
Sincerely,
JonathanCEO – Buffalo Club, Streetwear fashionista, hip hop fanatic, & WiderFunnel family member for life
