We are looking for Services and Solutions Training Manager for AP region.

Learning and upskilling are a key area of focus for SSG and Lenovo. As we are moving to a more services and solution driven business, sellers will need to change their approach to a consultative sales methodology. The offers are much more customizable, so sellers need to learn about the different solution building blocks and how those can deliver business outcomes to our customers. Sellers need to address new personas in their account, learn to customize their messaging and must work with more stakeholders internally, requiring usage of new process and tools. We also need to train our partner account sales reps to sell to partners and train sellers of these partners.
