Today is the last of the 11 Marketing and Sales project presentations for the semester. Should be very interesting considering the team is mostly engineering graduate students, and they have been hard at it for 13 weeks in our Science of Sales course stretching beyond the confines of building out the details of a sales plan to the rounding out of a fuller business plan.
Dan energized us during the second class back in January and since that time, we've had my individual sales alums provide us with exacting tactics, solutions, presentations, tools and technologies, all of which come down to one 90- minute presentation and the turning over of reams of research, data and interviews. 40% of their grade is defined by the company management making this a very unique and very impactful takeaway for the host companies
Last week, one of the teams provided one of "the best ever A+" presentations, and I was struck with the simplicity of their final slide labeled "Key Takeaways"
Excellent ideas to takeaway for all of us on a rainy Tuesday at the beginning of the critical month of May in the most critical quarter of the year
