This accelerated training programme provides a solid foundation into Daimler AG, Daimler Truck UK Ltd and all Mercedes-Benz Commercial Vehicle products, along with a sound grasp of systems, processes, and sales techniques, ultimately establishing you as an industry-respected, professional Truck Sales Consultant, with a Daimler recognised qualification.

Working as part of a cohort, this 6 – 8-month course will immerse you in the world of Daimler Truck UK Ltd, whether you are joining from within or outside the truck industry.

You will be able to meet and network with key staff and departments across DTUK and the Dealer network.

You will also be shadowing Truck Sales Consultants and spending time in each area of the business to gain an understanding of how the whole business operates, which will then support you in your role as a Truck Sales Consultant.

Vehicle technology
The history of the transport industry
Analysis of our Dealers’ competitors’ sites

eMobility – competitor analysis and infrastructure research

You will receive regular feedback on your progress throughout the programme both from your trainers within DTUK and your leaders within the Dealer Network.

At the end of the FASTTrack Truck Sales Consultant Programme, you will complete the Daimler Truck UK C (Certified) Sales Consultants Assessment with a view to attaining Certified status. You will be provided with an analysis of their performance and ongoing development needs.

Successful completion of the end of programme assessment brings the FASTTrack Truck Sales Consultant Programme to a close, however further ‘on the job’ training, and continued professional development courses are encouraged. This ongoing support will ensure you continue to develop your skills to become a highly trained and experienced Daimler Truck professional.
