Students learn the guiding principles of professional selling and complex negotiations, as well as strategies for customer relationship management and strategic account management success. Courses in finance, communication, and business-to-business marketing ensure a strong foundation while courses in sales technology and social selling address the leading edge of the profession. Students will learn how to approach the multi-dimensional world of business development in organizations. The program provides opportunities for students to practice their selling and business development skills in ongoing life roleplays, live client projects, and industry-based mentorship.
