About the role

This is a training role designed to prepare the Sales Trainee for the Account Sales Manager position.

Training

• Upon successful participation in the training program, the Sales Trainee is eligible to interview for open Account Sales Manager (ASM) roles.
• Upon completion of the program and certification, if no ASM or otherwise qualified role is available and the employee meets performance standards, they may remain in the Sales Trainee role for up to 12 months or until an ASM or qualified role becomes available, whichever comes first.
