For the most determined…
Since 2008, the Exponential-e
Sales Academy has provided the most ambitious new talent with the tools to become tomorrow’s sales superstars.
Competition is fierce at the 2024 Academy and the training intensive, but for those with the grit and determination to succeed, the opportunities are tremendous.
In just over a year, you could be:
Only two years away from earning £100k per annum (with uncapped commissions)
In possession of an industry-recognised Level 3 IT sales apprenticeship
Selling innovative products to one of the UK’s fastest growing markets for a leading ICT company
To get there, all you have to do is complete our Sales Academy. Be warned, though… Competition for places is fierce, and the training intensive. But the rewards you'll get from completing this 13-month programme will last you a lifetime.
"Don't be put off if you have no sales experience or technical knowledge. I didn’t have either before joining Expo-e. However, the Sales Academy gave me the skills and support I needed and now I feel so much more confident."

That's why we like to reward the people who work for us with awards, incentives and employee benefits.
It's also why we like them to have fun together! The better colleagues know each other, the better they work together. Socialising fosters an unbeatable l'espirit de corps – and collaboration is at the epicentre of our culture.

"When I started in the Academy, I did not have any background knowledge - my degree was in criminology - so the Academy nurturing process provided a great springboard for the future."
