Stories
Learn what our students are doing outside of class to prepare themselves for their careers. So much of what we do every day involves personal selling skills. Our Penn State Alumni also have shared their stories with us about their careers after graduation. See how PennState ProSales can help you write your own story.
I strongly recommend that all students consider taking a sales class in college, regardless of their major or planned profession. Doing so can prepare anyone to more effectively grow in their career. In many respects we are all sellers. When interviewing you are selling the value you can offer to a prospective employer. As a project team member you are selling your ideas and solutions to partners. Selling as a discipline is centered on persuasion and problem solving by bringing multiple parties together in the marketplace of ideas. A sales class will help you understand how to identify and articulate value, uncover and satisfy unmet needs, and follow through to close the deal.
