Sales skills to be tested in the sales competitions this spring
Sales competitions are convincing sales coaching situations. Students get to put their sales skills to the test in the spring in altogether six different sales competitions.
The cornerstone of sales is understanding the customer’s needs. In the competition’s buyer–seller role-play, the focus is on the evaluation of creating a good reciprocity, listening to the customer, and how well the solution presented responds to the needs of the customer.
At Turku UAS, every competition involves student coaching and training, usually as a part of a course.
