Apprentice IT sales Review

A typical day for me consists of daily account management such as answering queries and attending meetings for my customers. In this role, you'll spend most of the time prospecting and trying to win business to hit your targets and KPis. I would say that no day is the same!

Yes absolutely, the management here is excellent so they really make the effort to ensure you learn the correct skills to really exceed in your role. At Softcat, the culture is very friendly and inviting so you can always reach out to other colleagues if you need some advice with any work.

The company culture is so unique and amazing, there's no surprise on why softcat have grown so exponentially. In the Manchester office, everyone was very friendly and really push the work hard play hard lifestyle! Softcat offer so much to their employees and its a great place to work.

It is very well structured by our apprentice managers and leaders, there is a nice balance of studying towards our qualification and working to earn extra commission on top of our salaries. This job gives you the freedom to create your own success and that's probably why apprentices do well

We have weekly progress reviews with our managers to ensure we are on track. My manager was more than happy for me to reach out if I ever needed help or some simple advice to ensure things run smoothly. Softcat is very different to other companies as most colleagues are always open for some help/advice.

Our trainers at Remit are always an email or phone call away which is really helpful, they have strict deadlines in place so its important that they are there to guide us through the process and to ensure work gets completed on time, Remit had a big challenge due to covid and did a great job with us.

I think that the training provider gives us a better understanding of the role that we have to do and is very important when you're new to the role. I think that the on job training is essential if you want to really succeed at a competitive place like softcat

Yes there are many social events going on at softcat which is a huge plus, the majority of the workforce are quite young so missing out on uni really doesn't feel that bad. There is also alot of work based incentives which is great when you want money and a good time

Yes

I would say that this apprenticeship is one of the nicest ways to join a very competitive and potentially lucrative role. It gives you that edge that many graduates will not have when they first join softcat. This extra time will ensure you are capable of doing a great job.

Enjoy it! The apprentice year will most likely be the best year of your working life as there is no massive pressure from management to hit targets and it gives you the time to develop. Just make sure you give it your all and you have fun whist doing it
