CONSIDERING WHAT TO DO AFTER GRADUATING?
Sales is often an overlooked career option for graduates. Opportunities for promotion, cross training, travel, and a flexible schedule is more than most jobs can offer you.
MISCONCEPTIONS DEBUNKED.
Pushiness. Unrealistic sales targets. The need to be outgoing. All factors that contribute to students writing off sales as career option. Our speakers will shed light on just how misunderstood the world of B2B sales is.
THE MOST IMPORTANT SOFT SKILL.
A career in sales will train you to listen, speak, negotiate, and persuade - the building blocks of interpersonal skills and the type skill that transfers over to any industry. If there is people involved, then the ability to sell will set you apart from the your peers.
SALES SKILLS. EH, I DON'T NEED THAT.
Do you see yourself managing a team one day? Pitching a new initiative to investors? Making partner at an accounting firm? Delivering a presentation at a stakeholders meeting?
​
All of these goals require sales skills - aka people skills. Once you get over the idea that sales is beneath you, you begin the journey of building this critical skill.
