Baylor’s Center for Professional Selling initiated the academic year with the Baylor Business Business Development (BBBD) competition, which is an experiential learning exercise focused on the pre-call planning and business development steps of the sales process. The competition engaged 74 competitors who established strategies for contacting prospective buyers and initiating contact with these buyers via telephone and email. Their goal in the process was to obtain a face-to-face meeting. This year’s top BBBD finishers:
1. Alex Justus
2. Audrey Wilson
3. Bailey Eastman
4. Stephen Calcote
5. Madeline Senter
6. Chris Nunn
7. Chad Brown
8. Abbi Armstrong
9. Carson Eckerty

“From day one of my freshman year at Baylor, I have been driven to find opportunities that facilitate professional growth. Looking back as a senior, I attribute much of my development to the ProSales program, summer internships, and mentorship along the way. The BBBD competition is a great test of professionalism and I am honored to have finished in first place,” noted Alex Justus, the first-place finisher and a Senior in Baylor’s Professional Selling program. 64 business executives participated on-campus as judges, examining voice mails and emails, and 22 Ambassador and Advisory Board members participated as virtual voice judges. The corporate judging process allows students the opportunity to gain valuable feedback from the Center for Professional Selling’s Corporate Partners and Boards. The BBBD allows Baylor’s Professional Selling Partners to view talent as they prepare to enter the job market, while allowing Baylor students to see how they stack up against their peers in business situations. Cash prizes are awarded to top performers.
“This competition is one of four required competitions in which Professional Selling students participate each year. Our program is built upon iterative practice to help students develop their business acumen and hone their business communication skills,” said Dr. Andrea Dixon, executive director of the Center for Professional Selling.
