`Pitching Excel Progromme
Understand the needs/ nature of the host LC and customize your pitch accordingly. Given below are the pointers you can use in your pitch:
• The XLs are AIESECers with an experience of atleast 3 months.
• They understand AIESEC completely and contribute to the overall culture of the EP teams.
• The XL will benefit the host LC in multiple areas including exchange development, quality management & LC activities.
`Building IR for the EXCEL
• Search TNs for the EP like you do for the normal EPs.
• Once the communication is established, introduce them to the EXCEL program and throw the possibility of the EPs taking CEED/ TMP/TLP with exchange. Do not forget to send them the EXCEL brochure.
• Take the process ahead like it’s done for the normal EPs.
Method 1
`Building IR for the EXCEL
• Pitch EXCEL directly to the TN managers/ VPs of the target LCs. Send them the brochure.
• If oGCDP is not getting replies for the same, TM can communicate this to the TM of the target LC as a pilot.
• Once that is done, normal matching procedure can be followed.
Method 2
`Few important tips while matching:
• The Excel Programme will only be valid if the XL can do the activities specified in the XL JDs. Hence, please make sure that the XL is matched with a suitable TN.
• Self matching should be a very important practice for the EXCEL EPs if you are following method 1. o Talk to your VP oGCDPs/ TL oGCDP if you don’t have
prior experience with matching and train yourself.
• Synergy with TM needs to be a very important practice if you are following the method 2.
• You can follow method 1 and method 2 at the same time also.
