The Opportunity
Our Trainee Sales Manager Programme is designed for ambitious individuals who already have a foundation in sales and want to develop towards leadership and management.
At Atlas Collective, our teams work directly with customers through face-to-face sales and customer acquisition campaigns for recognised brands.
You’ll begin by strengthening your own sales performance and understanding how our campaigns operate before gradually progressing into coaching, leadership and management responsibilities. We believe future managers should understand the work their teams are doing before being expected to lead them.
As your performance and capability develop, you’ll gain greater responsibility for people, campaign performance and the commercial side of the operation.
About Atlas Collective
At Atlas Collective, we specialise in face-to-face sales, marketing and customer acquisition, representing recognised brands across a variety of campaigns.
Our success is built around strong communication, high standards, personal development and meaningful customer interactions.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
We’re looking for ambitious individuals who are ready to challenge themselves, develop professionally and become part of a high-performing environment.
Your Development
Your development will begin with mastering the fundamentals of our sales operation. You’ll gain hands-on experience representing client campaigns, communicating with customers, handling objections and improving sales performance.
From there, your development will progress towards:
- Sales coaching
- Team leadership
- Performance management
- Campaign coordination
- Recruitment and development
- Commercial understanding
The aim is to develop individuals who can eventually manage and develop sales teams, not simply perform individually.

- Representing client campaigns
- Conducting face-to-face sales
- Building customer relationships
- Working towards sales targets
- Reviewing performance
- Coaching newer team members
- Supporting campaign briefings
- Developing towards team management

As you progress, your focus will gradually move from producing individual results towards creating results through other people. You’ll learn how to:
- Run team briefings
- Set daily objectives
- Coach Sales Executives
- Review team performance
- Give effective feedback
- Motivate team members
- Support recruitment
- Understand client targets
