BBVA Sales Competition Winners Announced

Baylor Center for Professional Selling recently held their Baylor Business Value Analysis (BBVA) competition, where students completed a value analysis delivered via video. This competition prompted students to determine how best to present a manufacturing filter product from 3M’s Separations Purification and Sciences division to an automobile manufacturer. Value videos were judged virtually by 64 Corporate Partners, Advisory and Ambassador board members and business executives from around the country.

Among the 78 individual competitors, the top ten individual finishers are:

1. Victoria Whitworth
2. Maddie McKenzie
3. Carter Burns
4. Madison Butler
5. Saylor Yoos
6. Chris Nunn
7. Paige McClelland
8. Josh Rocconi
9. Garrett Starks
10. Sarah Vaughn

“Conducting business-as-usual in the midst of a pandemic can be challenging for everyone. I’m very proud of our students for rising to the challenge as they participated in this BBVA competition. Our Corporate Partner, Advisory and Ambassador Board members organizations stepped up to provide immediate feedback, allowing us to keep our students engaged with the ProSales program wherever they happen to be sheltering in place. We also appreciate 3M’s Mickey Hess for providing this very rich case for student learning,” noted Dr. Andrea Dixon, Executive Director of the Center for Professional Selling.

The BBVA allows Baylor students to see how they stack up against their peers and allows the center’s Corporate Partners to view Baylor talent as they prepare to enter the job market. In addition, top performers are awarded cash prizes.
