Professional Strategic Selling

The National Strategic Selling Institute includes our curriculum, the sales certificate, the sales major, but then it also includes different professional development opportunities. And so we have roleplay rooms, a sales lab as part of our program, and students will do role plays in pretty much every class in our curriculum. So that by the time you graduate, you have practiced those skills, develop the skills, watch film on yourself, because like sports, when you watch film, you get better and just continually practice practice. And it ends with a live sales experience where you go out and see if you can sell.

Sales major itself gives you many opportunities to help with your professional development with job fairs, career fairs, and also networking opportunities. So within the sales lab is the National Strategic Selling Institute. And what they do is they compete at a national level, given sales role plays against other universities, to compete among the best and to enhance their sales skills to better themselves postgraduation.

But if you're not sure, if sales is really what you want to go into, but you would still really like to step away from college, those people skills. We have a Sales Certificate, which is really easy to add to any major and we even have engineers that are adding it to theirs. The really cool thing about this is it's a great way to prove to employers, "I do have those people skills, I know how to talk to customers, I know how to ask those thought provoking questions." And ultimately your employer will know that they can feel confident putting you in front of any customer.
