Business to Business Sales Degree Apprenticeship
Are you driven by hitting goals and targets? Are you passionate about building relationships?
Are you keen to get stuck into work, all whilst still gaining a qualification?
Then start your career at Experian as an ‘Apprentice Sales Associate’.
You’ll be working within our ‘Go-To-Market’ team, who look after our business-to-business (B2B) customers. The team develops new business, both from existing clients and from winning new clients across all sectors and types of business. We have seen sustained growth for many years. This trajectory is set to continue, and that’s where you come in…
As an Apprentice Sales Associate you’ll build your network, develop your sales skills and launch your career.
You’ll start by learning about our clients, products and services. Depending on which of our sales teams you join, day to day you could be:
- Speaking to clients and prospects over the phone, via email, LinkedIn, and in-person.
- Building strong relationships across our sales teams to explore cross-sale opportunities.
- Looking after an existing client portfolio and building relationships with clients.
- Using tech to engage with prospect clients to generate new business, ensuring that we continue to grow our client base.
- Providing support to the sales team, whilst receiving on-the-job training in core sales competencies to help provide the foundations for a long-term career in sales.
In return, you will join a truly cohesive team that works together to achieve one single aspirational goal - to be number one in the industry!
Alongside your role you’ll complete a Business-to-Business Sales Degree Apprenticeship with one of our partner Universities through blended learning (mix of on-campus and online). The duration of the course is 3 years and in addition to your salary, you’ll benefit from fully paid tuition fees, as well as our support every step of the way. The Degree Apprenticeship will enable you to bring to life what you’re learning in the classroom, into the workplace!
If you choose to join us, you’ll receive industry training, wide-reaching career opportunities and a wealth of support through our Early Careers Network, buddy, line manager & mentor scheme. You’ll also join onto our structured 2-year development programme, which is packed with workshops, short-courses & online material designed to help kick-start your career.
Our concept is simple. We believe in expanding horizons – it’s what makes Experian a global leader and a Top UK Tech Employer.
