Industry Perspective
“More than 50% of US college graduates, regardless of their majors, are likely to work in sales at some point. But of the over 4,000 colleges in this country, less than 100 have sales programs or even sales courses.” (More Universities Need to Teach Sales, Harvard Business Review, April 2016)
Baylor ProSales is a competitive program supported by Baylor’s Center for Professional Selling. The selective nature of the program allows four full-time faculty to know and engage in each student’s learning and development.
Professional Selling students are bright, with an average GPA of 3.63. In addition to strong IQ, these students all share a desire to impact others’ lives. All of the students graduating with a Professional Selling major from Baylor University are consistently among the strongest in the nation.
The ProSales Program is framed along three distinctive competencies
which anchor the student experience in the program:
Curriculum
Classes are experiential, interactive, and intentionally small to provide students with the necessary skills and experiences to launch a successful career in sales.
College-to-Career
The program provides a number of professional development opportunities and tools that support the building of necessary professional skills and business acumen.
Collaborative Culture
The ProSales program develops students’ ability to think and work collaboratively by teaching, coaching, and pushing students to operate with a win-win mentality.
