The programme is designed to progress graduates through a structured path from initial exposure to core business operations to frontline sales and management responsibilities.
Programme structure
1. First 6 months Develop a core knowledge of how the business operates: warehouse, logistics, supply chain, administration, IT software, and marketing. Get hands-on with the vast product range and learn about different manufacturers and the electrical distribution industry. Start building relationships, making deals and advising customers face-to-face over the trade counter (e.g. electricians, contractors and tradespeople). Begin your formal sales training course and network with other Graduate Trainees. Complete workbook assessments to underpin your learning and development and receive financial incentives for each one passed to a required standard.
2. 6-12 months Move to internal sales account management, engaging with business customers over the phone (e.g. construction companies, local government authorities, housing developers and hotels). Learn business development strategies and how to target and win new trading accounts.
3. 12 months and beyond Progress to a diverse business-to-business field sales management position, with increased earning potential and bigger bonuses. Travel locally in your company car, meeting clients, discussing projects, and arranging social activities. Work towards running your own business in the group, learning about staff management, purchasing, profit and loss, etc.
The business operates in a decentralised manner, allowing local managers to make informed decisions that drive the business forward.
