I hope this is a joke lol
If you’re serious let me be the first to say no client/ceo/prospect (and I mean literally no one) is going to listen to some intern with 2 weeks of experience. Even if you had Warren Buffett’s contact book and knew everyone personally, they are for sure as hell not listening to what an intern has to say in regards to selling there $250m+ business.
Also, if you’re thinking about approaching your MD with a “We should contact xyz to pitch them” let me tell you, suggesting to your MD how they should do there job is probably the easiest way to NOT get the return offer.
The best way to position yourself for a return offer is to do what is asked of you well and when you feel it is possible asking for more work. Very important as well, is being someone that the team wants to be around. From what it sounds like you may be a bit excited for this position, I suggest toning it down a little before you make a fool of yourself.
I brought a deal to Goldman's top banker Gregg Lemkau after he referred my CV to return to the firm and he put me in touch with a partner in HC IBD.
I actually agree with the above analyst lol, but it has been done.
