Avenica Launches Sales Bootcamp for Entry-Level Job-Seekers

MINNEAPOLIS - Sept. 10, 2018 - PRLog -- Minneapolis-based entry-level recruiting firm Avenica (http://www.avenica.com/) announced today that it is launching a pilot program to train, certify and place job-seekers in sales careers.

The Avenica Sales Bootcamp and Placement Program offers college graduates three weeks of free, comprehensive sales training. Graduates receive a Professional Sales Consultant certification and prioritization for placement into full-time sales positions with Avenica clients.

"Sales is the most critical function for most companies, but finding dynamic candidates can be difficult, especially in a tight labor market," said Avenica CEO Brian Weed. "At the same time, entry-level job-seekers can be reluctant to jump into a sales career without testing the waters. Our Sales Bootcamp and Placement Program is designed to tackle both of these challenges."

Developed in partnership with Virtanza, a market leader in sales training and certification, the three-week Avenica Sales Bootcamp and Placement Program is a flexible and interactive online training curriculum delivered via 12 webinars. Participants also conduct extensive role-playing exercises and complete a Chally Assessment to identify and understand sales competencies and preferences. The rigorous program delivers world-class sales training, personalized development plans and expert coaching designed to build on participants' individual strengths.

Students who complete the program are then prioritized for placement into "right-fit" sales positions with companies in the Avenica client network, based on each individual's unique skills and strengths. Best of all, Avenica provides a full scholarship to the program for all participants, so there's no cost to job-seekers looking to launch a future career in sales.

"Hiring managers are often wary of hiring an entry-level candidate without experience, especially in a role like sales, which has a steep learning curve," Weed said. "This program gives job-seekers interested in sales a chance to get a heavy dose of practical training and sales experience, which will allow them to get on a fast-track to great careers."

Avenica is piloting its Sales Bootcamp and Placement Program in three U.S. cities beginning this summer: Atlanta, Chicago and Minneapolis. For more information, visit www.avenica.com/salesbootcamppr
