Sales Supervisor Review

My current role is sales supervisor at Travis Perkins. So i look after the counter sales as well as sales over the phone. It is a very customer based role and i enjoy making and receiving calls as well as the face to face service over the counter every day.

I have learnt a lot through out the apprenticeship. There was 10 different modules which had a lot of different topics within them and i was able to gain a lot of knowledge as well as learn more about some things that i already knew and had some idea about.

I really enjoyed the apprenticeship and enjoyed working with different people from different backgrounds as well as having a coach that was always there to support me wherever and whenever needed. I enjoyed learning a lot of new things and learning about other peoples opinions on the topics on each webinar that we had every month.

The programme is very well structured and laid out. Once you get the hang of using everything on google and learn how the reflective diary works its really easy to use. It is all very self explanatory and i hadn't used much with google beforehand but once i had played around and got the hang of things it was really quick and easy to use.

I received a lot of help and support right from the beginning of the programme. Its really handy having your coaches phone number and email address so that you can send a quick message or give a call when you need something. Any questions i had or any help i needed my coach was always there to support me.

Everyone helps a lot with the programme where they can. To start of with the first few months its always likely that you're going to have more questions as you're getting use to the systems and learning how the apprenticeship works. My training provider, like my coach, was always there to help and support me when needed.

The apprenticeship has really help me grow as a person over the past 15 months. I feel as though i have gained a lot of knowledge and confidence within my role and it has really changed my mindset on things, especially in certain situations where you have to think and act differently when a problem occurs.

There is usually always something going on with fundraising for charity throughout the year. I was able to take part in an 8 mile walk and i raised £800 for Macmillan cancer support. There is also many training days that happen quite often and online training that you can access through my perks.

Travis Perkins is a very big building supplier and they are a very good company to work for. Since starting here i feel a lot happier and everyone makes you feel welcome. Everyone is always happy to help each other and the bonds you build with your customers is brilliant.

Be confident and ensure you go into detail when asked what you could bring to the team and why you want the role. Being honest is also a good tip and just show your confidence and really big yourself up by explaining all the experience you have and how this may help in the role.
