Over the last 4 years, ProGrad have been providing graduate talent to over 600 companies across Australia.  Primarily, our focus has been in placing candidates within the B2B sales and marketing divisions as a method for organizations to “home-grow” their own talent internally.

 

This concept has been successful in a variety of industries such as IT, Telecommunications, Media, Events, FMCG and Pharmaceutical.

 

ProGrad are now looking for candidates to be proposed for the “ProGrad Young Acheivers Awards” which will be presented in 2010.

 

We’re looking specifically for outstanding performance from nominated candidates that have been placed by ProGrad.  If you have had an internal success story which deserves some recognition, please let us know.  Essentially, we’re looking for candidates who have exceeded expectations, over-achieved in their roles, and are a positive representative for your organization.  

 

If you would like to nominate any of your ProGrad recruits, please let us know by emailing Davinia directly at: davinia@prograd.com.au .

 

We also have an online entry form, which can be accessed by clicking here.

 

We would like to ensure that our first awards ceremony is conducted in the early part of 2010 to acknowledge top performers across a range of industries.

Why business to business sales?

Business to business sales is a great way for a graduate to launch their corporate career. In a B2B sales role graduates will be working with the sales and marketing director and they will get to know the company’s products and services, and also their key clients.

Without B2B sales a company will fail to produce revenue and therefore cease to exist at all. B2B sales is imperative to any organisation and will give a graduate the opportunity to work on the front line and earn high levels of respect, by driving new business opportunities and carrying a high level of responsibility.

There are many pro’s in B2B sales and the main one is money. There is high earning potential in sales. Another great sales advantage is the high rewards and getting recognition from senior management. This type of role also will expose a graduate to high level business conversations and give envied access to senior management.

ProGrad is Australia’s leading assessment, training and placement company for graduate students. Sourcing the top 4% of graduates, and placing them in business to business sales roles in a whole variety of sectors. Some of these include;
