How you turn opportunities into successful trajectories
You are the one who recognizes, creates, and nurtures opportunities. You connect with potential customers, ask the right questions, and give sales trajectories a flying start. How do you do that? You'll have plenty of freedom in your approach.
This means, among other things, that you:
- Schedule meetings with potential customers through conversations, events, or other channels.
- Uncover what's really going on in an organization and translate that into a strong next step.
- Actively contribute to commercial strategy, lead generation, and seizing opportunities.
- Collaborate with sales and marketing colleagues and partners to ensure successful trajectories.
- Build your network effectively and use various channels to generate new leads.
How you continue to develop as a sales manager
You bring at least 1.5 years of experience with you. That's why you'll start at AFAS with a shortened traineeship. This way, you'll quickly get to know our organization, software, and customers, and grow into an independent role as a sales manager.
Phase 1 – Getting to know & doing
- You learn about AFAS, our software, and our customers.
- Your focus is on scheduling meetings with prospects.
- You work on lead generation and network building.
- You take training to sharpen and improve your conversations.
Phase 2 – Deepening & applying
- You develop your soft skills, such as negotiation and conversation techniques.
- You shadow experienced sales colleagues.
- You learn how to deliver a strong demo.
- You apply everything directly in real conversations.
After the traineeship, you'll independently take on sales trajectories and continue building your role as a sales manager.
