Because You are A Relationship Builder
With a Professional Sales major you will receive a relevant, project-based education allowing you to develop one of the most sought-after skills in both Fortune 500 companies and fast-growing technology firms.
Our program features a heavy focus on relationship-driven selling, which is vital to ensuring long-term customer commitments in B2B sales. Additionally, all our sales classes place an emphasis on hands-on learning, requiring students to practice selling with their peers and professors. Our goal is to provide you with valuable practical experience that will prepare you for the positions you find upon graduation.
You will learn many facets of professional selling, through courses in sales techniques, negotiation tactics and sales territory management. Within these courses, you will develop techniques in areas such as customer follow-up, which involves effectively nurturing sales leads. You will also be trained in current issues and trends in domestic and international sales.
In addition, you will learn management techniques as they pertain broadly to business and more specifically to running a sales team. More general business topics may be covered as well, including accounting, marketing, microeconomics, and macroeconomics. During your college career, you will complete a sales-based internship in which you can gain practical experience in a professional sales environment.
