Planet Hatch is an acceleration centre located in Fredericton, that helps entrepreneurs and startups grow into well-positioned, internationally competitive businesses through programs, funding, mentorship, coaching, facilities and events.

The Planet Hatch Sales Accelerator program is the first sector-agnostic sales acceleration program in Atlantic Canada. The program helps startups build their sales pipeline, develop skills to close deals fast, and drive revenue for scalable growth. Our organization collaborates with dynamic students who fulfill the role of Startup Sales Intern, a position in which, students are placed with a growing startup company participating in Planet Hatch’s Sales Accelerator program.

Throughout the program, students and entrepreneurs receive intensive, hands-on sales training that will help them develop skills to identify, negotiate and close deals. At the end of the program, graduates receive certification as a sales professional which is recognized across North America.

In a recent survey of Canadian employers, sales professionals were identified as 2nd of the 10 most in-demand skills. Almost a quarter of employers say the main reason they can’t fill these roles is due to a lack of qualified applicants.
