How it Works

Contestants receive product information two weeks in advance and prepare for a 15-20 minute one-on-one sales meeting with a potential 鈥渂uyer,鈥� during which they go through need identification, propose a solution to the buyer's situation, address buyer鈥檚 concerns, and potentially make a sale. Judges observe this exchange through a live feed and score each student鈥檚 execution of the stages of the sales process using the Evaluation Criteria (PDF). All buyers and judges are career salespeople, recruiters, or sales managers.

Why Students Participate

The TU Strategic Sales Competitions are a great opportunity to get hands-on experience, network with sales professionals, and potentially land a job interview with one of the participating companies.

Why Companies Participate

Strategic Sales Competitions are the best way to see Towson University鈥檚 best student sales talent in action. The most highly represented major/concentration is marketing, followed by finance and mass communication, but entrepreneurship, international business, management, and economics students are also consistently present. Sales Competitions give corporate partners a chance not only to recruit during the competition, but also to establish a long-term on-campus presence through sales class guest visits, hosting students for shadowing-a-salesperson days, and experiential learning class projects. In addition, the Platinum Partner company each year gets to write the sales scenario and choose the product for the Fall competition.

鈥� The sales competition has been an all-around rewarding experience. I was able to sharpen my sales skills, network with other sales professionals, and ultimately attain my postgraduate job. I would highly recommend the competition to everyone. 鈥�
