How you turn opportunities into projects

You are the one who recognizes, creates, and grows opportunities. You make contact with potential clients, ask the right questions, and ensure sales processes get off to a flying start. How do you do that? You are given a lot of freedom in that regard.

This means, among other things, that you:

  • Schedule appointments with potential clients via conversations, events, or other channels.
  • Uncover what is really going on within an organization and translate that into a strong next step.
  • Actively contribute ideas regarding commercial strategy, lead generation, and capitalizing on opportunities.
  • Collaborate with colleagues from sales and marketing, as well as partners, to ensure projects run successfully.
  • Build your network effectively and utilize various channels to generate new leads.

How you continue to develop as a sales manager

You already bring at least 1.5 years of experience. That is why you will start at AFAS with an accelerated traineeship. This way, you will quickly get to know our organization, software, and clients, and grow into an independent role as a sales manager.

Phase 1 – Getting to know us & doing

  • You get to know AFAS, our software, and our clients.
  • Your focus is on scheduling appointments with prospects.
  • You work on lead generation and network building.
  • You follow training sessions to make your conversations sharper and more effective.

Phase 2 – Deepening & applying

  • You develop your soft skills, such as negotiation and conversation techniques.
  • You shadow experienced sales colleagues.
  • You learn how to give a strong demo.
  • You apply everything directly in real conversations.

After the traineeship, you will handle sales processes independently and continue to build your role as a sales manager.
