In today鈥檚 competitive job market, recent graduates must be able to set themselves apart from other candidates, regardless of the industry. In order to provide the training and resources for 麻豆视频 graduates to succeed after they complete their degree, the College of Business faculty have developed the Sales Excellence Program.
Sales Techniques Taught by Real-World Professionals
This innovative, Business-to-Business (B2B) Sales education program exposes students to a multitude of industries, insights, practical skill sets, and success strategies that can only be taught by the top sales staff in the industry. Bob Bergman in the College of Business recruits B2B Sales professionals from regional, national, and international companies to teach the curriculum.
