  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
  • I am a Sales Apprentice in the London office here at Softcat. This is like no other apprenticeship out there purely because of the support you will receive and the people that work here. They allow you to get stuck in to the I.T Sales industry through cold calling and general Account management whilst providing you with both external and internal training. The external training provided is super unique and valuable, and ensures that your outlook on Sales is effective in the I.T industry. This is such a huge opportunity thanks to the culture of Softcat and the nature of the I.T Industry. Therefore, it’s definitely worth applying if you want to be challenged and excited by both a company and a job.
