Sales Platoon
Hiring salespeople can be challenging. Some people try to build their sales team by hiring college graduates or training first-time rookies on the principles of sales. Others try to lure top talent away from other organizations. What if there was another way to find top producers and set them up to succeed?

Your Story
First-time sales candidates are only available seasonally, post-graduation from colleges and universities. This makes hiring off-season, challenging, and open headcount almost impossible to find.
Their Story
Every year, 250,000 veterans separate the Armed Services. More than 50% are under 25, only 3% have college degrees, and 75% separate from active duty with no job. Those who do find employment will have five jobs in their next three years. The bridge from military life, military skills and military discipline to civilian life requires a transition. A boot camp.
