Leading pan-African Information and Communication Technology
(ICT) Company, the Computer Warehouse Group (CWG) has graduated another set of
students from its Sales Academy located in Lagos.
According to the Head Marketing Communications and Corporate
Affairs, Ms Success Nmerife, the graduating students are of the 2013 first
session made of those who have successfully completed a six-week of intensive
classroom work, practical training and live project attachments.
She also said that CWG Sales academy formerly called DCC
Sales Academy emanated from DCC Networks, the Communication division of Computer
Warehouse Group in 2012 with the mission to provide experiential knowledge on
selling of IT products and services for freshand experienced graduates who wish
to hone their selling skills.
She explained that it became CWG Sales Academy this year in
order to provide a holistic sales training in the three disciplines of IT;
Hardware, Software and Communication for the students.
The ceremony chaired by the Chief Technology Officer, CWG,
Mr. James Agada, who highlighted the importance of sales in business growth,
stressing that the world could only be ruled by people who have the selling
skill, because, everyone has something to offer but your ability to convince
others to buy is what makes the difference.
Thus, he said, the Sales academy creates the avenue to
impact its students with the required selling skill that will enable them excel
in their career.
“Considering the role of ICT in the economy and its growth
rate, raising human capital that can sell the value appropriately to the users
becomes imperative. Contrarily, so many fresh graduates lack the required skill
for immediate employment especially in the IT field. It was on this heel that
CWG has established the Sales Academy to bridge the gap,” he said.
Agada went on
to congratulate the graduands and charged them to give attention to the knowledge
they have acquired from the academy as they are not common.
Both the
alumni from DCC Sales Academy and the graduating students from CWG Sales
Academy were glad to give testimonials of the impact of the academy on their
career.
Sogbamu Segun
and Excel Chukwuewube both alumni of DCC Sales Academy shared testimonials of
the transformation they have experienced in their careersand life as a result
of their participation in the academy while three graduating students;
Oluwatobi Ojomo, Olayisade Adekunle and Damilola Oluwatunmise on behalf of their
