The program
Our Sales Associate program is built entirely around you. While the structure of the program may very slightly from one year to the next, here is an outline of what you can typically expect:
Months 1 & 2
Start your technology sales journey by learning about our culture and Winning Together values. You’ll gain insight into Computacenter’s core capabilities and go-to-market strategy, understanding how we source, deploy, and manage technology for leading organizations. We’ll also introduce you to ProSys Information Systems a strategic partner of Computacenter. Throughout, we’ll help you build your network by connecting you with key people at Computacenter.
Months 3 & 4
In your third month, you’ll develop sales skills, learn the sales cycle, and discover what makes a successful seller. We’ll cover sales techniques, best practices, and the tools we use. At this point things will get more technical, but we’ll start with the basics, like understanding IT infrastructure (e.g., ‘what is a server’). As your knowledge grows, you’ll learn about specific solutions that help our customers achieve the transformational benefits of technology.
Month 4 & 6
During months 4-6, you’ll be able to consolidate your knowledge further as you’re introduced to some of our customer accounts. By shadowing some of our experienced sales professionals, you’ll witness firsthand how your sales and technology training is applied in the real world, observing how customer calls and emails are handled.
Month 6 -9
You’ve seen how it’s done, now it’s your turn! At this stage of the program, you’ll given your own allocation of non-target market accounts to manage and grow with the support of your mentors. You’ll also be given some targets which you’ll be expected to meet by the end of this three-month period. However, don’t forget you’ll be supported every step of the way.
Month 9 - 11
As well as visiting some of our regional offices for in-field training and to take part in team building events, you’ll also undertake procedural training as well as training from some of our technology partners.
Just to make sure that you’re comfortable and ready to move off the program, we’ll provide some further reinforcement training should any topics covered over the course of the program need to be revisited.
Months 11 - 12
After you’ve successfully completed the program, you will be deployed to one of our regional offices including but not limited to New York City, San Francisco, Boston or Chicago. You can also expect a long-term career in either an Account Manager or Sales Specialist role.
