Over 12 months, you'll progress through two distinct phases that combine classroom learning, hands-on practice, and guided sales experience.

Phase 1: Foundations (Months 13)

Your journey begins with three months of comprehensive, instructor-led training that builds your confidence from the ground up. You'll learn:

• Electrical Fundamentals What electricity is, how it works, and how our products connect to real world applications.

After building a solid foundation, you'll step into a hands-on inside sales role supporting one of our experienced sales areas. This phase is designed to let you apply what you learned in Phase 1 while being supported and mentored by seasoned sales professionals. You will:

• Assist with quoting, sales support, and customer inquiries
• Work alongside outside sales teams as they interact with distributors, contractors, and key partners
