Upskilling Reps with Non-Traditional Backgrounds

Transform reps from diverse or non-sales backgrounds into confident, high-performing revenue professionals – equipped with the commercial acumen and skills to drive results fast.

The Challenge

Hiring sales and CS reps from non-traditional backgrounds (higher ed, military, nonprofits, etc.) expands your talent pool and brings valuable perspectives. But without the right commercial enablement, these hires often struggle to translate potential into performance. Hope isnโ€™t a strategy, and relying on time or โ€œshadowingโ€ to fill the gap slows ramp, stalls pipeline, and puts revenue at risk.
