Industry Induction Programme

We understand the challenges of recruiting fresh talent from outside the Telecom and ICT industry. Teaching them the technicalities and terminology while making sure they turn profitable as soon as possible can be a daunting task, and there's no guarantee of success.

 

Understandably, this is why many channel partners feel their only option is to recruit those who have been in the industry before. However, as we all know this also will often bring its own difficulties having to take on previous unwanted baggage, bad habits and a stubbornness to change. 

​

But what if we told you there's a better way? The Signature Industry Induction Programme is meticulously crafted to identify and develop the very best talent new to the Telecom & ICT industries, transforming them into efficient sales and lead generation machines in no time.


Signature Industry Induction Programme.

Why is it so effective?

Traditionally, when a new recruit joins a business they are placed with technical staff to learn the technology, product experts to learn the terminology, given product brochures to learn, buddied with existing lead generators to listen in on calls, and shadow current salespeople on face-to-face meetings.

 

However, this approach is not only time and resource-consuming but has also proven to distract current team members from performing their duties effectively, be detrimental to performance levels because training and coaching others is not what they are employed to do.

​

The Signature Industry Induction Programme provides your new recruits with everything they need within a single training and coaching programme, delivering a consistent message, industry-proven methodologies of success and all within a much shorter timeframe.

 

So why begrudgingly hire from within the industry with their unwanted baggage, bad habits, and an unwillingness to change when together we can nurture your new recruits to become profitable assets to your business in record time?
