Indiana State University Sales and Negotiations Center Sales Career Exploration Event
Each semester on the evening prior to the ISU Career Center’s campus-wide Career Fair, the Sales and Negotiations Center sponsors a unique event in which sales professionals and sales students get together to explore career opportunities in the field of sales. Students seek careers in fields with which they are familiar and when they know successful people working in that profession. Consequently, our goal for this event is to introduce our students to successful sales representatives and sales managers who could become future role models, mentors and/or career coaches for our sales students. To encourage a relaxed atmosphere and encourage productive interactions, the dress code for the evening is “business casual” and a delicious dinner will be served. We welcome sales professionals with an interest in helping and/or hiring and outstanding sales students with an interest in professional development. This is a great opportunity to begin developing professional relationships. ISU sales students are outstanding young professionals with a career focus on sales and this is where they go to explore sales career opportunities! LEARN MORE

Although it is a competition, the primary purpose of this event is to help you and your fellow students better develop your sales skills.
