Where competitive people become capable leaders.

01 Who We Are

A leadership development firm that starts on the sales floor.

Tier 1 Marketing is a Pittsburgh-based leadership development and sales organization. We exist to turn motivated people into strong business professionals — and then into the managers and leaders who build the next team.

Sales is the foundation of our training because it is the fastest, most honest way to develop the skills that matter: how to communicate clearly, how to handle pressure, how to earn trust from a business owner, and how to be accountable for a result. Leadership development and professional growth are the long-term focus.

• Hands-on, not theoreticalTraining happens in the field with real business customers, supported by daily coaching.
• Performance decides advancementPromotion is earned through results and leadership, not tenure or politics.
• We develop from withinEvery leadership role on our team is filled by someone we trained.

03 The Development Path

You are trained, then trusted — in that order.

1. Learn the fundamentals

   You start by learning our clients, our standards and the basics of communication and customer acquisition. Classroom work is short; field work with a trainer is where it sticks.

2. Own your results

   You take responsibility for your own territory and accounts, representing telecommunications clients directly with business customers and building a track record.

3. Develop other people

   Once you can do it, you teach it. You start coaching newer team members, running training sessions and taking part in recruiting and interviewing.

4. Run the business

   Team management, performance development, client relationships and business operations — the full management skill set, learned by doing it with support.
