Travel Opportunities Elevate ISU Sales Competition

In addition to the College of Business’ Sales Competition that invites students from across campus to gain invaluable experience diving into the principles of sales to win big cash prizes, the College of Business also took students to several external competitions this semester. These events took place in Boise, ID, Corvallis, OR and Kennesaw, GA. Both student participants and coaches agreed that the external competitions helped them grow and be even more prepared for the ISU competition.

“Going to out-of-town sales competitions was such a fun and eye-opening experience,” said College of Business team member Amenze Erhunmwunse, who took fifth place at the Boise competition. “I got to meet students from other schools, learn from real professionals, and push myself in ways I hadn’t before. It really helped boost my confidence and made me realize how much I’ve grown since starting the program.”

“A a coach, it’s so rewarding to watch our students grow and represent ISU so professionally,” said Executive Director of the Walter Brown Center for Sales Excellence, John Ney. “Not only are they learning teamwork and communication skills, companies are actively recruiting our students at these events.”
