Channel Sales Account Manger Review

Overview of my Role: In my role for the past year I have been able to engage with customers to allow me to have an accurate representation of how renewals work in the company. Day to Day: Calling up customers working in SFDC to manage Data and professionally present it.

I Have learnt new skills: More advanced technical knowledge about the portfolio and tech in general. I have also learnt about the sales process and how the industry works - I have also learnt lots of new skills in regards to sales and self presentation. I have also been able to manage skills like time management and talking to people (customers)

I thoroughly enjoyed the program and it has made me very excited to be able to be able to continue working in the industry as well as the company. Even though we had to work from home for the majority of the course, it still had lots of value and was extremely enjoyable.

I believe that the structure was as good as it could be! I think the structure that was in place for the 2 years pre COVID was perfect and looked to be balanced perfectly between: Training, Team Building Exercises & Personal work - Sadly a lot of those Team Building Exercises didn't happen but was due to COVID so understandably so!

The support that is offered and received from HPE is above and beyond Through the year I have been offered genuine support from the Early Careers Team, multiple time and have been told that they would be there for me no matter what, In addition to that, I have been told similar things from My Managers, Mentors and higher experienced members of Teams, all willing to help me and my progression.

For Deadlines and Qualifications Pareto and my Mentor from them have been great at helping me out to get my portfolio finished and sent off with drafts, audits 1-1 's and even post submission feedback, I Personally would have liked some things to be presented to me earlier so that I had time to work on them more earlier in the year but even so their support has been great.

I believe that the qualification helps me loads in regards to closing deals and progressing through the Sales Process as I have been learning it parallel to actually doing deals and working through deals, I also feel that the portfolio and documenting what I have done helps me to see some of things I have done and potentially do better the next time it comes up.

I believe that there are extra-curricular activities and I also believe that there are more options that will reveal themselves after WFH is over. - There are ones I would quite like to take part in and they are nice incentives to make sure day to day jobs are completed to allow time to use them

Yes

I have recommended HPE to a friend who has enrolled for th 2021 Internship placement I Recommended as in my eyes it was a fantastic way to show a sales Business that adds lots of value and seems to treat the early careers with respect and pushes for personal progression.

I would say that as long as you are willing to learn and happy to work smart and hard, HPE Gives back just as much as you put in. I would say that you have to be prepared to jump in at the deep end to learn as well as be prepared for training and step by step help.
