BREAK INTO PROFESSIONAL SALES | Get Trained. Get Mentored. Get Placed.

The Professional Sales Virtual Academy is for those who are motivated to solve customer needs, create compelling client solutions, and greatly increase career traction. You will build executive-level skills by learning about Client Relationship Management (CRM) software, as well as how to put together sales plans, analyze customer data, navigate digital presentations, and so much more. These are the types of hard skills you need whether you're just getting started in sales or trying to seize a promotion at your current corporation.

This 16-week online course uses group discussions and role-playing scenarios to help build professional skills such as negotiating, prospecting, needs assessment, public speaking, and confidence. This program offers mentorship and career coaching to further build on these skills, as well as help you perfect your LinkedIn profile and tailor your resume and cover letter to professional sales positions. Your instructors will also show you the best practices for job prospecting and interviewing.

Plus, you will become part of ENTITY’s exclusive Mentor Network and be able to attend live speaker sessions with guest mentors from a variety of industries. ENTITY also provides soft skills workshops to train you on skills such as resilience, leadership, collaboration, time management, and empathy. We’re here to make sure you’re ready to hit the ground running after graduation!

WHY THE

CAREER

PORTAL OFFERS YOU AN ADVANTAGE

I thought it was really sweet you couldn't find this position anywhere else. Since these are trying times, there’s been a general lack of jobs. Having first access to a job position through the ENTITY network is nice. It’s great to have a first look at jobs you can't find anywhere else.

I love the fact that I get to work with female entrepreneurs and work flexible hours from home at the same time. The ENTITY job announcements are great for me to access resources and opportunities that I wouldn’t have come across otherwise.
