We are excited to announce the Gatton College of Business and Economics 6th Annual Sales Competition. Student contestants will compete in a 20-minute sales competition and be judged by corporate sales professionals on their performance. There will be prizes for 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th place.
Brief Description
For the competition, students will be selling Dell Small Business products to a corporate buyer in a 15 – 20 minute role-play (students will receive the role-play case two weeks prior to the event). Students will be evaluated during a live feed to our judges (corporate partners) who will be in separate conference rooms.
On the eve of the competition, we will be holding a networking event for our corporate partners and participating students (February 28). This is a great chance to connect with each other in an informal setting before the competition the next day (February 29).
