B2B Sales Degree Apprentice Review

My role varies due to the demands from my team. I manage over 100 independent customers, selling a range of different products to the food service industry. I also manage our strategy on pricing and promotion tracking.

I've learnt a vast amount. How to present, lead, analyse information and how to convert opportunities are just a few of my experiences and skills gained. I have also built my confidence especially in public speaking.

I enjoy the work I do as I feel it's different everyday, alongside being challenged and supported by my team.

I'd say very well from an employer perspective. My university however are poor at organising and I do feel at times they forget that we are apprentices and have difficult challenges with time and diary availability.

A huge amount. I've been supported at great times and poor times, especially when it comes to outside of work. I'll be forever grateful for the time, effort and guidance Unilever provides.

From my University, unfortunately very little. We don't receive a lot of feedback and when we do, it tends to be quite generic. We also receive material that is outdated and labelled for other cohorts.

My sales training is incredibly useful. From the models to the practice, the training has improved my ability to sell effectively and improve my efficiency.

There are many opportunities to go above and beyond. As an example, I co-lead our programme that connects with schools in the south region to promote our apprenticeship opportunities.

Yes

The support, the global connections, the brands and so much more. The people are also great too!

Be yourself. Authenticity is so key!
