We are excited to announce the Gatton College of Business and Economics UK 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 $400 cash prizes given to the winners of each competition round.

Registration coming soon!

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 by our judges (corporate partners) who will act as the customer during the roleplay.

On the eve of the competition, we will host a Sales Career Networking event on February 25th. This event is for our corporate partners and any students seeking a career or internship in sales. It is a great opportunity to connect with sponsors and learn about their companies and available job opportunities.

Note: Students do not need to be in the sales competition to attend the Career Networking event.
