CPI spent the first 25 years of its existence providing Sales professionals to various sectors including advertising agencies, OEM manufacturers and the Telecommunications sector. The telecoms industry expanded exponentially during this time with Carriers, Mobile operators and Vendors growing aggressively, CPI developed a reputation in this time of supplying quality Sales professionals from Entry to Director Level.
In 2012 CPI changed its focus from the Telecoms sector that was shrinking through acquisition to software based Vendors, we recognised the high growth opportunities within this field and began building partnerships with Market shaping Vendors and Consultancies. We focussed on Internal Sales opportunities, including Lead Generation, Inside Sales along with Sales Management and Director positions. At this time many Software businesses were setting up EMEA wide inside Sales Hubs so this quickly developed into Multi-Lingual opportunities.
