Dell

CASE STUDY

All Things Sales

Dell is a global technology leader dedicated to enhancing lives through its extraordinary capabilities. Dell's influence extends worldwide from innovative hybrid cloud solutions and high-performance computing to impactful social initiatives and sustainability endeavours.

After establishing a partnership with Pareto, Dell used their 2023 apprenticeship funding to create a specific apprentice programme for their public sector sales team. For many years, Dell focussed on their graduate programme to provide early career talent for their sales teams However, with the expansion of suitable frameworks under the UK government apprentice programmes, and specifically the Pareto sales programmes, Dell saw it as a perfect pairing to explore how this talent could be utilised within the organisation.

The programme aimed to address some misconceptions about apprentices. There was a concern that apprentices might be perceived as lacking the knowledge, "life skills," and maturity commonly associated with graduates.

Additionally, Dell wanted to ensure a smooth integration of apprentices into the sales organisation to minimise the risk of challenges and failures during their onboarding process. The goal was to create a supportive environment for apprentices to transition seamlessly into their roles within the company.

PROBLEMS FACED

  1. Lack of public sector talent pipeline beyond graduates.
  2. Underutilised ESG potential for early careers; negative apprentice perceptions.
  3. Need for ground-up sales integration and clear career paths for sustained talent.

THE RESULTS

  1. Initial apprentices exceeded 18-month readiness expectations within 6 months.
  2. Pareto partnership is an effective talent pipeline for Dell.
  3. Strong performance will accelerate apprentices to commission-based roles.
    Dell's programme offers stable, long-term careers with progression.
