Sales, SAS

Classic story – small town guy moves to the big city!

I grew up in a small town. My parents own a farm, so I know all about agriculture but less about the technology world. I really had no idea what opportunities existed, and I honestly didn't know where to start looking. I knew I wanted to try something different, so I went to business school. After graduating, I took a leap and moved to the city. I started searching for jobs in Toronto, and that’s when I found the SAS Sales Academy. The decision to join the academy changed everything for me and has propelled my career and my life.

The SAS Sales Academy: Earn while you learn

When I joined the Sales Academy, I was blown away with the six-month training process. I received world-class training and met people from all over the world. It’s an amazing program because you’re able to learn while making money, with a guaranteed job waiting for you when you graduate the program. Not to mention, I had so much fun and created lasting relationships.I've also learned so much from the phenomenal leadership and mentors here at SAS - leaders who constantly push me, challenge me, and put their faith in me. SAS is committed to my growth and wants to help me continuously develop my skills. The opportunities for next steps and my career have literally exploded in front of me. I really believe in programs like the SAS Sales Academy. It's the best way to start in an organization without question.

Favorite Part of the Job?

I’d have to say closing deals because I know it means we’ve found the right solution for our customers, and we’ll able to help them solve their business problems. I also enjoy the opportunity to travel and meet with our customers to build lasting relationships with them.

Where can we find you on the weekend when you’re off the clock?

Being active somewhere outside, cheering on the Raptors at the Scotiabank Arena, enjoying the City of Toronto with friends, or spending time at the family farm.
