The Miami University Sales Competition is an all-day event dedicated to connecting the university's top sales, consulting, public speaking, and problem-solving talent with nationally recognized coaches and companies such as Gartner, Textron, and More. Participants will get the opportunity to be trained on how to build trust, ask the right questions, identify the core problem, and pitch their solution all within the time constraint of 12 minutes! They will then get to apply their new skills in a competition setting while various recruiters scope out who to hire. Whether you sign up for the networking, coaching, or just the free food, everyone will benefit from the Miami Sales Competition.
This competition is open to students of ALL MAJORS! This is a great opportunity for students, regardless of major, to demonstrate their sales skills and connect with recruiters from top-tier companies.
No matter your desired profession, sales skills are necessary to collaborate with colleagues and share your ideas effectively. Through Miami University's Sales Competition, you'll develop these crucial skills.
Additionally, you'll have the opportunity to connect with recruiters on a more informal level. Whether that's being coached by them for your sales roleplay or hanging out with them between training and roleplays, these informal interactions develop stronger connections and better opportunities with recruiters compared to traditional career fairs or other standard networking opportunities.
Here's a list of just some of the companies attending the competition:
· ivueit
· Medix
· Gartner
· & More
