OUR MISSION

Transforming talent into sales professionals, with proven selling tools and techniques that will maximize your potential.

SALES APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAMME

We are searching for ambitious talent who want to start an exciting career in B2B Sales (Business to Business). In a B2B sales role, you will be selling our products and services to other businesses, ultimately enabling them to solve their problems, make better decisions, stay compliant, reduce risk, and improve their business. Below is an overview of the role:

• Sales is all about building relationships with new or existing clients, understanding their difficulties, and discussing how our products/services can help them. This might be over the phone, email, or in face-to-face meetings.
• Your role may be new business focused, contacting new clients and trying to build a relationship where one does not already exist, or account management focused, contacting existing clients and looking at ways to grow the business further.
• We will train you to know our products/services in great detail, understand our competitors, and learn about the markets in which you will be operating. Initially, you would shadow other members of the team. By month 3, we aim for you to start speaking to customers directly. It will take time, but we will support you.

SALES QUALIFICATION

You will follow a structured Apprenticeship program of learning for the first 18 months, upon completion of which you will gain a Sales Executive qualification equivalent to a foundation degree (Sales Certification Level 4 accredited by the Institute of Sales Professionals, ISP).

DIVERSITY & INCLUSION

As a company with customers all over the world, we truly value diversity and believe that an inclusive environment is essential for nurturing big ideas and developing industry-changing innovation. Our aim is for every employee to be the best version of themselves, and we have a robust diversity and inclusion strategy that’s helping us to move the dial on our inclusion goals. We actively welcome applications from candidates of diverse backgrounds and underrepresented groups.
