Setting you up for career success in salesforce

With our Graduate Program we are hiring Graduates who will ultimately take one of two career paths; sales or solution engineering. These are complementary roles and having the fundamental skills for both will ensure that our Graduates are positioned for success in either role. Having the skills of solution engineering will ensure that our grads who take the sales path will have deeper knowledge of our solutions, which will help them have stronger discovery skills and give them greater exposure to the later stages of the sales cycle. For our grads taking the solution engineering path, they will have learned all about the early stages of the sales cycle, how to build rapport, they will use industry leading sales methodologies to qualify opportunities, they will learn frameworks on how to handle objections all of which are critical skills to enhance their performance when they promote to a solution engineering. Ultimately sales and solution engineers will work very closely together and another critical benefit of this rotation programme is that it will enhance the alignment between these teams
