I have a unique opportunity to work closely with all candidates that join our firm. As early as post acceptance we engage in initial training on the sales cycle, ratios and language. I am also instrumental in the coordination and facilitation of sessions in our Training Academy. I also have on-going training in place for both full time and Intern candidates upon completion of initial training. On the development side I coach a select group of both full time and Intern reps as well as overseeing the other coaches across our firm to ensure all reps have a similar experience and opportunity to succeed in the business. The training and development of Full Time and Intern candidates is an ongoing process that requires some custom tailored plans depending on the needs. New reps need to learn and understand many fundamentals therefore the learning never ends. We are also in an industry that is constantly changing so our training and development systems remain fluid to meet those changes.
