THIBODAUX, La. — For the second year in a row, a national sales publication has placed ÐÓ°É´«Ã½<\/a> among the best schools in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 2021 Sales Education Foundation<\/a> Annual Magazine<\/a> lists the top universities for professional sales education each year. ÐÓ°É´«Ã½ is one of five schools in Louisiana to make the list. Others include LSU, Southeastern Louisiana University, Xavier University of Louisiana and the University of Louisiana at Lafayette.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Laura Valenti<\/a>, assistant professor of marketing<\/a> and faculty sales advisor, said the program attracts more than just marketing students. She has taught students from mass communications, human resources and music over the years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis program is unique because it embraces the diversity of the ÐÓ°É´«Ã½ student,\u201d she said. \u201cPersonal selling is a universal skill set and all are welcome to learn in the sales class.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Students take part in engaging exercises that combine their individuality and best sales practices. Over the last year, students practiced selling services such as cybersecurity and IT research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe outcome is a student who in three months can approach the real world with the ability to sell themselves as well as a product or service,\u201d Valenti said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the issue, SEF recognizes the specialization and sales lab as two key factors of the program, as well as their 80 percent job placement rate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis program utilizes a professional, corporate-style training facility including five role-play rooms that enhance the sales and behavioral skills of students in the program,\u201d the publication said. \u201cThis facility is also used for the Annual Bayou Sales Challenge<\/a>, a regional intercollegiate sales role-play competition hosted by the College of Business at ÐÓ°É´«Ã½ each spring. ÐÓ°É´«Ã½ also has a cross-disciplinary degree program with Finance to prepare students for a career in Financial Services Marketing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ÐÓ°É´«Ã½ competitive sales team has developed a reputation for success in competitions across the U.S. going against larger universities <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The nonprofit SEF has focused on advancing sales education for more than a decade by partnering with educational institutions to provide funding and aid research. They have published their magazine every year since 2007.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
