SUCCESS STORIES
Let's look at what some of our alumni and student members have to say about their experience at the Sales Society!
Carolina Chavez

Brandon Uria
Service and Sales Representative at Thyssenkrupp Elavator
"Being in the Sales Society offered me real life experience and mock call preparation before going into the workforce. Having this level of understanding is what enabled me to ramp quickly and to this day still helps with objection handling and executive presence on calls. I know that I wouldn’t be where I am without the Sales Society ."

OUR STUDENT MEMBERS:

David Torrens
Territory Sales Intern at Ecolab
"Joining the Sales Society was the turning point of my Junior year, not only was I able to secure an Internship with Ecolab, but I also gained new skills and opportunities tailored to my growth and success! My only regret is that I did not join earlier!"
David Wagdolt
Global Business Sales Intern at Gartner
“I have loved my experience at the sales society as it has given me the opportunity to network and make friendships as well. By meeting a corporate recruiter at a sales society event I was able to attend the Gartner open house, and secure an interview which later resulted in an internship offer. My experience at Gartner was amazing, I was able to sharpen my sales skills by learning how to sell a complex product and learn more about the value of research and organizational structure”
Cristina Antonijuan

“Through my participation in the Sales Society I have been given the opportunity to develop my professional skill set in a supportive environment. This past summer I Interned with City Furniture by also competing in the Panther Sales Tournament.
