About the Aajil Sales Academy Program
Aajil is launching its inaugural Sales Semester, a three-month, full-time, paid program designed for recent graduates. This program, held in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, offers an immersive experience for individuals looking to develop sales skills within one of the region's rapidly growing B2B fintech companies. The program is a new initiative following previous successful internship rounds that attracted significant applicant interest.
Program Responsibilities
Participants will engage in practical, real-world sales activities. This includes visiting customers, observing experienced sales professionals, and conducting independent client interactions. The program incorporates tangible sales targets with commission structures, allowing participants to directly benefit from their achievements. The curriculum is designed to provide an inside perspective on Aajil's sales methodologies within a dynamic company environment.
Learning Opportunities
The Sales Semester offers exposure to the B2B Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) industry, a sector increasingly vital for Saudi businesses managing growth and cash flow. Participants will learn about the key sectors Aajil serves, including construction, manufacturing, and industrial supply, understanding their operational dynamics and growth strategies. The program also focuses on developing interpersonal skills, including reading people and building trust through a dedicated track on sales and personality styles. Additionally, participants will gain insight into the operational structure of a fast-paced, trust-based startup.
Ideal Candidate Profile
This program is suited for individuals who are curious, driven, and possess a genuine interest in sales. Candidates should be comfortable interacting with people and adept at building rapport. A willingness to engage directly with the market, including customer visits and calls, is essential. The program values resilience, viewing rejection as a source of information rather than a setback. While not strictly required, a strong academic record or demonstrated initiative through extracurricular activities, leadership roles, or volunteer work is beneficial.
Program Requirements
- University graduate or graduating via co-op.
- Proficiency in English, both written and spoken.
- Availability for the full three-month duration of the program, requiring in-person attendance.
Previous full-time or sales experience is not required. Support will be provided by the People team, along with direct coaching for professional development.
Program Outcomes
Upon successful completion of the three-month program, top performers will be offered a full-time position at Aajil. All participants will receive a Sales Academy certificate and a professional reference. This is a paid program for fresh graduates, conducted in person in Riyadh.
