The university’s Professional Sales Program held its Spring 2021 internal Professional Sales Competition today, concluding at 3 p.m. with the announcement of the winner, senior marketing major Jenna Pecot.
The role-playing competition commenced this morning in Garrett Hall’s Sales Lab, as several students took turns making sales pitches via Zoom to professionals in the marketing field. After preparing for the competition since this semester, each student had 15 minutes to close a sale.
Junior marketing major Emily Browning received first runner-up, and senior marketing major Madeline Lato received second runner-up.
Pecot is a graduating senior who has competed in previous sales competitions. She said she did not decide to compete until last week and described what it was like to win.
