6th Annual Sales Competition February 2025

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 1^st, 2^nd, 3^rd, 4^th, and 5^th 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).
