Professional Sales

The professional sales major provides the necessary knowledge and skills which students need to begin their professional careers as sales representatives. Professional sales representatives provide products and services to other businesses. These corporate representatives create value for their business customers by fulfilling needs and helping solve customer problems. In order to accomplish this, the sales representatives develop strong relationships with their customers that are built on trust, cooperation, commitment, and information. These representatives may sell consumer goods and services, industrial products, business goods and services, and health care products and services.
