Testimonials

Really enjoying Hammer University and my time at Hammer. It's been great getting to know people across the business and learning more about how everything works. The culture and socials make it a great place to be, and I'm looking forward to building my knowledge, progressing in my role, and taking advantage of the uncapped earning potential.

Arjun Dass

The skills that the Hammer Distribution University program has taught me in the 6 months of working here is a testament to its quality. How to sell is believed to be one of the most valuable attributes you can have in your character and the personalized training and support that is provided is like no other that i have seen. The knowledgeable managers and established salespeople have never been too busy to share their experiences or provide help those still trying to improve and learn within this industry, I would recommend anyone who is determined enough or wants to build a future within sales. Looking forward to the future.

Felix Care

Hammer University has been a great way for me to dive into the tech industry and learn the different types of technology we sell as well as the vendors we work with. I have gained the confidence to have consultative conversations with customers unfolding their pain points and ways we can support them. The training we have been provided has reinforced how we approach our customers and expand our pipeline. I feel valued in the fact that I had the opportunity to be apart of the university and to develop my skills of confidence and resilience.

Musab Ahmed

Hammer University was a tailored, streamlined and professional process that built up the core skills necessary to not just survive but exceed within Hammer. The support available, training given and clear communication around expectations made it difficult to fail, and in the 6 months that have passed so far, I've learned more than I thought I would have been capable of. A particular mention should go to the management team (Gordon, Nick, Stuart & Tom), as well as the BDM team (Scott, Ethan, Chris, Chloe, Paul) for their consistent support and ability to meet you where you are at, then bring you to where you need to be. I am looking forward to pressing on, implementing the skills given to me and utilising the network of experts and support available within Hammer to achieve and pay back the investment made into us in both time and money.
