Our Commercial Training Programme offers a comprehensive introduction to an exciting career in media sales. The combination of on-the-job experience and a structured classroom-based training programme will build confidence and your sales skills.

If you are a graduate looking to start a career in sales or if you are currently in work and are looking for a career rather than just a job, this scheme is for you.

We guarantee to invest in every one of our employees to help them achieve their goals and are committed to providing our people with a positive and supportive environment in which they can flourish.

Jesse Thompson started as a sales executive three years ago and is now a manager in our Risk division:

"I started at Incisive in November 2008, and, while never having any real sales experience, I was given a chance on the New Subscriptions team.

After finishing University a few months before, I was struggling to figure out what I to do for a career, and it wasn't until a friend suggested I try sales that I even went for an interview.

I entered into a market that had been hit hard by the financial crisis, and in some ways this helped, as I wasn't used to there being an ‘easier' time – so I just got on with my job.

I really enjoyed my role and working with the team, and it always helps when you are hitting monthly targets – but when a role arose on the Risk & OpRisk advertising team, I put myself forward and got the job.

Progressing to the advertising department was a big change as my responsibility had suddenly increased – and being the sole person in Europe on OpRisk meant if I wasn't performing, it would be clear to everyone.

I enjoyed the pressure, and the magazine has been performing well. This increase in responsibility came with positives too: it meant I have had the opportunity of attending award nights, having some very nice client lunches, and going on a number of international business trips.

All in all I would recommend this company and department to anybody interested in sales – it has a clear road of progression, and if you perform, you will be rewarded.

I have been at the company for three years, and at 25, I am relocating to New York to work out of our Manhattan offices."
