Sales
Personality. Passion. Ambition. If you’ve got these qualities, you can grow a successful sales career at Softcat (and earn some eye-catching rewards). You could be a recent graduate. You could already have experience after school, college or university. Do you need to be a techie type? Nope – we’ll give you all the training and support you’ll need.
Learn & Grow
Whether you’re a recent graduate or have some sales experience in another industry, you’ll join one of our development programmes which have been designed to accelerate competence and confidence within the sales role across our corporate, public sector, and specialist sales areas. The programmes focus on behaviours and provide support and structured training, with a clear route of progression across each division.
Our Sales Careers Paths
Follow a structured progression path in account management or leadership in the following ways:
Sales Executive
You will likely join the team as a Sales Exec. In your first 12 months, you will enjoy comprehensive training and build your confidence working with customers in either the Commercial or Public sector. For more information, see our infographic.
Sales Specialist
Despite the job title, you don’t need to be an IT specialist or tech expert to join the Softcatters in the team providing solutions in areas such as Networking and Security, Datacentre and Cloud, and Workspace and Services. Over 6 months, you’ll receive all the training you need to become a specialist in your field.
Your progression into management
Once you’ve proven yourself as a Sales Executive or Sales Specialist, you will have the opportunity to progress into a Sales Management role. Or you could choose to progress your career laterally, for example by specialising in a specific technology or switching to a different client sector. We will always be as flexible as possible to support your growth, wherever you want to go.
