Wave 92 is an exceptionally seasoned, veteran cohort. Every single trainee enters with 5+ years of BPO experience, representing a 100% senior baseline.
Unlike Wave 91's dominant hands-on preference, Wave 92 splits between Visual (60%) and Hands-on (40%), meaning screen shares, diagrams, and workflow visuals will be just as critical as live tool navigation.
The cohort presents two distinct archetypes:
The Commercial Veterans (Emily, Erwin, Jennifer, Cheery): Primarily visual and hands-on learners driven by incentives, family stability, and career advancement. Their primary growth areas center on product fluency and mastering rebuttal/objection handling.
The High-Technical Specialist (Janiel): Possesses unusual technical depth entering NHT (already fluent in VPS/dedicated server specs, NVMe storage, WAF, and CodeGuard) and seeks enterprise-level architectural mastery and AI workflows.
Industry Tenure: 100% (5/5) possess 5+ years of BPO experience.
Sales Exposure: 100% (5/5) have prior sales background.
Domain / Web Hosting Familiarity: 40% (2/5: Janiel, Erwin) have direct prior domain/hosting exposure, while 60% (3/5) are transitioning from other sales verticals.
Educational Background:
Bachelor’s Degree: 80% (4 reps: Emily, Janiel, Erwin, Jennifer)
High School: 20% (1 rep: Cheery)
Learning Modality Distribution:
Visual (Videos, diagrams, screen demonstrations): 60% (Emily, Erwin, Jennifer)
Hands-on / Kinesthetic (Interactive drills, roleplays): 40% (Janiel, Cheery)
Learning Velocity:

Facilitation & Instructional Design (Rose & Rob)
Adaptive Pacing Across Varied Baselines: Trainees commended the trainers' ability to cater to differing learning curves without slowing momentum:
"Trainers are very flexible even if we have different learning curve, they make sure that we understand the module we discussed."
Simplifying Technical Architecture: Reps appreciated that complex product environments and systems were broken down into straightforward, actionable workflows with high energy and approachability.
High-Impact Takeaways & Retained Competencies
Consultative Discovery vs. Premature Pitching: Reps internalized the discipline of diagnosing before prescribing, specifically in positioning Microsoft 365:
"How to correctly identify the right Microsoft 365 plan based on customer needs rather than recommending a solution too quickly. I learned the differences between Business Basic, Business Standard, and Apps for Business, and when each is most appropriate."
Product & Sales Journey Mapping: Using visual journey maps to anchor logical upsell paths directly within CRM tools.
Psychology of Sales Decision-Making: Applying buyer psychology to adapt communication styles to different customer temperaments.
Trainee Requests for Ongoing Floor Development
Mixed-License Architecture Scenarios: Advanced roleplays for enterprise accounts requiring blended licensing structures (e.g., standard users on Basic vs. power users on Standard).
Targeted Objection & Customer Persona Drills: Ongoing scenario-based practice focused on high-friction objection handling across diverse client archetypes.
Targeted Communication Refinement: One rep requested ongoing communication drills to sharpen closing verbiage on live calls.
Wave 92 transitions to the production floor as a commercially aggressive, high-tenure cohort with natural closing instincts, strong resilience, and quick recovery from rejections.
However, because these veteran specialists rely heavily on their prior sales habits and big-picture momentum, process compliance is the primary operational risk across the group. Floor leadership must prioritize verifying account authentication, payment security protocols, and structured checklists before allowing reps full autonomy.
Erwin Canonigo Jr.
Core Strengths: Autonomous, outspoken, and calm under fire; robust objection resilience; solid grasp of core domain assets and standard renewal mechanics.
Areas for Growth: Skips foundational compliance steps (Call-in PIN verification and closing checklists) due to rushing toward the outcome; discovery can be superficial, leading to disjointed presentations.
Floor Coaching Mandate:
Audit Trigger: Zero-tolerance check on Call-in PIN verification at call opening.
Skill Drill: Enforce a 3-step structured discovery framework (Situation $\rightarrow$ Impact $\rightarrow$ Solution) to slow his presentation down and anchor real business goals before quoting.
Cheery Mae Quiño
Core Strengths: Welcoming, perky opening tone; highly coachable; sharp technical eye for spotting missing domain security (SSL gaps, complementary TLDs).
Areas for Growth: Confidence drops on live pitches, leading to filler words and hesitation; info-dumps rather than pacing solutions; critical compliance defect: verbal credit card handling.
Floor Coaching Mandate:
Audit Trigger (Critical Compliance): Strict inspection of 100% adherence to the PCI Pal secure dial-pad workflow—immediate escalation if card details are requested verbally.
Skill Drill: 2-minute pitch pacing drills: Presenting one core recommendation and one supporting benefit, eliminating conversational over-explaining.
Jennifer Villacencio
Core Strengths: Analytical, highly efficient commercial execution; exceptional closing rate on multi-year extensions and Domain Guard; proactive peer leader.
Areas for Growth: Delivery sounds overly robotic/scripted rather than conversational; pauses cause dead air when locating specs; lapses on unpaid invoice closing checklists.
Floor Coaching Mandate:
Audit Trigger: Inspection of the unpaid invoice closing checklist prior to billing generation.
Skill Drill: Conversational softening drills: Infusing dynamic vocal emphasis, transitional bridging phrases, and verbal narrations during back-end system lookups to kill dead air.
Emily Antonette A. Elorde
Core Strengths: Articulate, commanding vocabulary; excellent gatekeeper handling; protects account privacy firmly when handling third-party proxies.
Areas for Growth: Directness can cross the line into sounding authoritative, bossy, or aggressive; reverts to transactional renewal trials rather than pitching paid security (Domain Guard); vulnerable to frustration during operational setbacks.
Floor Coaching Mandate:
Audit Trigger: Monitor customer sentiment and vocal warmth during objection handling.
Skill Drill: "Warm Authority" reframing: Replacing directive language with collaborative phrasing ("Let’s take a look at how we can secure this together"), paired with proactive Domain Guard value anchoring.
Janiel Estilloso
Core Strengths: High-wattage sales charisma; natural assumptive closing; rapid emotional bounce-back after hard customer pushback; strong multi-year tier presentation.
Areas for Growth: Tends to talk over clients and dominate discovery airtime; occasionally skips initial account authentication; tool navigation lags during complex secondary add-on checkout.
Floor Coaching Mandate:
Audit Trigger: Verification of mandatory account authentication within the first 60 seconds of every inbound/outbound interaction.
Skill Drill: The 80/20 Discovery Rule: Requiring two open-ended questions followed by an uninterrupted 5-second customer response window before delivering the recommendation.
