Recruitment firm lands prestigious award

Prime picks up award

Manchester based graduate sales recruitment and training company Prime has won the 2019 BESMA award for Sales Training Provider of the Year.

The British Excellence in Sales Management Awards are the highlight of the sales industry year.

The awards took place at Wembley Stadium, with individuals from all areas of the sales industry coming together.

Co-founded by former BBC Apprentice star Neil Clough and three-time BESMA finalist Nicole Plinston, Prime was launched  with the aim of changing the perception of the sales industry.

Since Prime’s inception in 2014, the firm has trained over 3,500 graduates and trainees, placing hundreds into their perfect sales careers.

Prime is unique as it offers free sales training to all candidates both before and after they gain employment.

Their market leading 90% retention rate of placed candidates is evidence of how their unique training process effectively prepares candidates for a successful career in the sales industry.

Prime’s reputation is further supported by 60% growth in revenue year on year, offices in Manchester and London with a third planned for 2020, and its ongoing growth of its client base, adding another 43 new clients this year to their already sizable portfolio.

Co-founder and Training Director, Nicole Plinston said: “BESMA represents sales excellence so to be selected as a finalist three years in a row is a fantastic achievement in itself. We are absolutely over the moon to have won the award for Best Sales Training Provider this year!

“It’s such an honour to be acknowledged alongside so many prestigious brands.

“To be recognised as a company that is professional and ethical in the sales arena and making a real difference to the sales industry is an amazing accomplishment, and one that we will no doubt be celebrating for a while.”

Following another successful year, Prime has plans to continue to change the perception of sales, through further growth and expansion in 2020.

Having recently launched their regional desk so they can recruit and train for companies across the whole of the UK, they are also set to open the firm’s third office.
