Written by Ellie Barnett, Schmidthorst College Communications Intern

After an impressive finish at the Bowling Green State University Sales Competition this past fall, Schmidthorst College of Business students Nichole Cox and Luther Shinew represented BGSU at the the National Collegiate Sales Competition (NCSC) in early March.

The competition is a challenge hosted for undergraduate students across the United States to test their basic sales call skills. and is considered one of the most prestigious sales competitions in the country.

Although the pair failed to place in the competition, both felt the experience was valuable to their educational careers.

The students acted as Gartner Sales Representatives presenting Gartner for CIOs, an executive support package with several different tools. Gartner for CIOs is a product made up of three deliverables: unbiased research, cost optimization, and the executive partner which acts as a mentor for CIOs who purchase their product and that executive partner can share their CIO experience with the buyer.
