That is why we built the Merchant Academy with a 6-month training program, custom-built to give you the essentials to be a world-class Merchant. This learning path will provide you with the knowledge and skills you need to deliver a great experience to our customers and further grow your career.
Sales University Program
The University Sales Program prides itself on helping students develop a rewarding career in sales. In this state-of-the-art sales program, we can take someone right out of college with little to no professional work experience, and groom them into top-performing outside sales representatives. You will start as a B2B Territory Sales Representative, where you will participate in instructor-led and on-the-job training for two months, learning about the company, and the products we sell while developing sales skills you’ll need to ensure you are successful. After several successful months, you will be on your way to your first promotion with Staples!
