About Salesforce

We’re Salesforce, the Customer Company, inspiring the future of business with AI+ Data +CRM. Leading with our core values, we help companies across every industry blaze new trails and connect with customers in a whole new way. And, we empower you to be a Trailblazer, too — driving your performance and career growth, charting new paths, and improving the state of the world. If you believe in business as the greatest platform for change and in companies doing well and doing good – you’ve come to the right place.

What is Sales Development?

Sales Development is the first team to engage with our future customers. They work as part of a team to identify and engage with new opportunities for Salesforce to create a long lasting relationship. The Sales Development teams are curious about business, organised, tenacious, and love interacting with new prospects. Over your time, you will work closely with salespeople, planning smart outreaches, and consulting prospects on how their companies can best implement our technology.

The Sales Development Apprentice Role

You will begin by focusing on understanding the company, our products and gaining the skills needed to do the job. As you progress, you’ll begin interacting with customers and practicing the skills required to become a Sales Development Representative whilst continuing on your Sales Apprenticeship.
