Sales Exec Review

I work in a fast paced, customer facing sales role where it is always busy. I help to manage billing queries and manage cancelations

Since joining Sage, my confidence and general people skills have grown considerably. I have been given the opportunity to support in areas outside of my role, so I have learned new skills such as event organisation, how to alter internal processes and write informative articles.

The role I fulfil and the apprenticeship course I follow are not the most relevant to each other, which makes it hard to enjoy the work because I spend more time worrying about how to link the work to my job in order to make it relevant.

We were given key dates immediately, so it is easy to follow and well structured to track your progression. JGA have structured the learning to make sense with the way you process a sale, so the learning aspect is great.

I have had additional support provided to me externally which is great, they have helped set up assistive technology and tutoring sessions to help me manage with the workload.

I meet with my training provider once every couple of months, but they are always available through email and phone call.

I can understand the entirety of the sales role, rather than just the retention aspect. We get a range of different perspectives and techniques to trial, that other members of my team often haven't heard of.

I am a city co-lead for a colleague success network, which means i get to help plan and organise events for issues I am passionate about

Yes

The benefits of working for Sage outweigh some of the weaker areas in the organisational aspect of the company. The people are amazing and make you feel accepted immediately.

Do your research on the role you want to fulfil and don't be afraid to ask silly questions around it. Get your foot in the door, and there is so much potential for growth.
