No 1 Solution for Growing Businesses

Sunday 15^th May was a memorable day for many of us here at ProspectSoft. It was the day we ran the 10km Oxford Town and Gown Race.

The ProspectSoft running team consisted of 14 of us, the group not only varied in age but also in ability, with some having completed half marathons and others having never trained before. For most of us it was quite a challenge - having decided to sign up just 7 weeks before the race, a lot of training had to be put in by all to ensure we were able to reach the finish line.

We arrived on our very first day, at the beginning of August, and have since felt very much a part of the enthusiastic, hard working, ProspectSoft team. Throughout August, as seven new placements, we under took a month’s training. The first two weeks of training were focused on the CRM product itself, now familiarly used by all of us every day. During these two weeks we were challenged in many areas, from technical abilities through to presentation skills, it was then that we realised this was the perfect placement experience.
