Learning curriculum and assessments designed to develop sales skills, provide fast-track industry experience, teach “hands-on” business development processes and strategies
Develop relationships with Executive leadership: you are paired with an executive sponsor, leadership mentor, and an onsite manager
Make in-person presentations to the Executive team

At the end of the program, you will graduate and join the Company as an LDP Alumni Sales Team Member on the management track. You will move immediately into a sales or business development position that is aligned with business needs and your career goals.
