After successful participation in and completion of the training program and certification, the Sales Trainee is eligible to interview for open Account Sales Manager roles.

A manager may extend this period by up to six months in cases of continued high performance, completed certification, and no open roles. Once an Account Sales Manager or other qualified role becomes available, the certified Sales Trainee must interview for it.
