The post describes a learning-led start. You begin with marketing, customer acquisition, business communication, client engagement and sales, supported by structured on-the-job training, mentoring and regular performance feedback.

• Client conversations: understand what a client needs, suggest suitable business solutions, give sales presentations, and keep in regular touch with both prospective and existing clients.
• Leads and strategy: generate business leads and follow them up, help build and carry out sales and marketing plans, and keep up with market trends, customer needs and openings.
• Targets and representation: work towards individual and team sales targets, coordinate with internal teams so clients have a smooth experience, and represent the company at meetings, networking activities and business events.

The post is aimed at fresh graduates and early-career professionals who want a long-term career in business and management. No experience is required.
