• Designing and delivering engaging classroom, virtual and practical training.
• Embedding consultative sales methodologies into everyday recruitment behaviours.
• Running regular one-to-one coaching sessions with consultants across the business.
• Listening to calls, analysing performance trends and providing practical feedback.
• Supporting consultants with business development, opportunity progression, account development and stakeholder engagement.
• Working closely with Directors and Managers to improve coaching standards and consultant capability.
• Creating development programmes, workshops and learning resources that drive measurable performance improvement.
• Supporting key initiatives including the Million Biller Pathway and future consultant development programmes.

What Success Looks Like

• Consultants become productive faster.
• Onboarding standards are consistently achieved.
• Managers receive meaningful coaching support.
• Training translates into measurable behaviour change.
• Consultative sales capability improves across the business.
• Consultant performance and retention continue to strengthen.

Why Join Evolution?
