Question 1: Horizon Europe Value Positioning (Strategic Thinking + Market Understanding)

“Our company offers four services: OpenCosmos Membership, AI Proposal Builder, Training, and Consultancy. Choose one of these and outline how you would identify, approach, and convert a prospective customer or partner for it. Please describe the tools you would use, the outreach steps you would take, and the way you would pitch the value.” WE WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR ORIGINAL THINKING AND NOT THE USE OF AN AI TOOL ON THIS.

Question 2: Sales + Outcome-Driven Execution (Our Value #5: Outcomes Matter)

“Imagine you are hired and given a 90-day goal to bring in 30 new OpenCosmos members (from both the academic and the non-academic sectors). What would your strategy look like? Describe how you would structure your time, track progress, and adjust if you're falling behind target.” WE WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR ORIGINAL THINKING AND NOT THE USE OF AN AI TOOL ON THIS.

Question 3: Communication & Creativity (Our Values #1 and #4)

“You want to contact 100 Horizon Europe stakeholders who’ve never heard of OpenCosmos. Draft an example of the first outreach message you would send (email or LinkedIn), and explain why you structured it that way.” WE WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR ORIGINAL THINKING AND NOT THE USE OF AN AI TOOL ON THIS.
