Summer Mentorship8/4/20149:00-2:30On the first day of mentorship, my mentor familiarized me with his duties at Sweet Fruit Arrangments. He handles administrative items.

8/6/20148:30-1:00Today, my mentor introduced me to his previous business plans when he opened Sweet Fruit Arrangements 10 years ago. Some of which has changed due to the recent partnership with 1800-flowers which has drastically increased revenue. In efforts to expand this business this opportunity has led us to open a flower shop near our current shop.4.5

8/8/20148:00-3:00Today, I was introduced to the current business plan for the flower shop that had its grand opening a few days ago. When the company was merged with 1800-flowers, my mentor realized how essential it was to have a fruit and flower shop so that we would have more retail revenue. With a $5,000 budget they bought another store next to the current fruit shop and hired new employees plus drivers. I helped clean up the shop and met the new employees.I also attempted to create a flower arrangement, which actually looked decent.7

8/11/20149:00-12:30Today, I worked with the manager. She manages the stores and the employees. She makes sure the drivers are dilivering the correct arrangements to their places. She handles phone calls from 1800-flowers. I was able to take some of the phone calls eventhough its one of my weaknesses. 3.5

What they do is set up a beautiful table with an assortment of fruit in glass vases. SFA company also does: candy tables, hawaiian shaved ice and mini desserts.
