Testimonials |
| "The PSE National Convention is the epitome of all things PSE. The convention gives an excellent opportunity to students looking to further themselves both personally and professionally. The best thing? THE PEOPLE!! Everyone there is totally committed to the students. They are all looking for ways to help us, the students, succeed. Whether they are judging, organizing, presenting, or socializing with you, they truly care about your future. Sales is all about relationships. I can honestly say that the relationships you can build at the National Convention are those you will definitely want to keep.
Not only are the people amazing, but there are so many chances for students to experience what it will be like in the real-world. The rush of competition at the convention's various awards and role-plays is incredible! I would not replace my National Convention experiences with anything! I would encourage anyone and everyone to attend the 2010 National Convention in Milwaukee. SEE YOU THERE!"

"The PSE National Convention is an invaluable experience for any young professional. I couldn't put a price on the lessons I learned, networking opportunities I had, and experiences I gained. All I can say is that attending the convention is definitely worth it. If you miss out on the PSE National Convention, you're missing out on a world of opportunities and experiences. See you in Milwaukee!"

"On behalf of the members of the Epsilon Omega chapter, I would like to share with you what an amazing experience we had this year at the Pi Sigma Epsilon National Convention in Virginia. The speakers this year were very impressive, shedding light on the business world outside of college. We also enjoyed the activities that involved getting to know the other chapters and sharing ideas in order to better our own Epsilon Omega chapter, such as the ice breaker with Michael Cheatham, the round table event, and networking at the career fair. The different competitions provided wonderful experience in not only public-speaking, but also in learning what it takes to make a real-life sales pitch and learning to sell ourselves in a highly competitive world.
As a young chapter, Epsilon Omega is still establishing itself in the Pi Sigma Epsilon community. After everyone's work and growth as a chapter, the banquet was a perfect end to an amazing week. The twenty of us were so proud to go onstage and accept our awards, especially the award for the Top Chapter Amethyst Level. As a newly elected member of our Executive Board, Nationals showed me, personally, all of the great rewards and accomplishments that one can gain from Pi Sigma Epsilon. Now back at school, our executive board is already at work, excited to push the Epsilon Omega chapter to the next level. Hopefully the next time you see us at the 2010 Nationals in Milwaukee we will be competing for the Top Chapter Silver Level!"

"I wanted to drop you a quick line and tell you what a wonderful time I had at the convention and want an awesome event you put on! In my time at Federated, I have attended numerous conventions, meetings and outings and without question the quality of the people I met a few weeks ago in Norfolk was off the charts! From the students to the volunteers everyone was truly impressive."

"This was my first year attending the Pi Sigma Epsilon National Convention and it was an experience I will never forget. From the intensity of the competitions to the fun we had socially networking it was all a great experience. I hopefully plan to attend even more as an alumni and encourage any collegiate PSE member to attend. It is something that I will stay with me the rest of my life!"

"An outstanding convention. As a
veteran of many Collegiate Career Days, The caliber of PSE students
I met that are truly attuned to the Sales and Marketing process
is incredible! We expect to hire 3-4 full time hires to develop
into sales SUPERSTARS and 3-4 Summer internships will be awarded."
John Gerhart - Wyndham Vacation Ownership |
"I have spent over two decades in
Sales & Marketing - one as a recruiter of Sales professionals
for two major corporations. Without question, some of the best
and most talented individuals I have not only met but have also
hired, attended the PSE Annual Convention. I believe those who
participate and who also give back gain the most ... in terms
of job offers, promotions or in my case oversight of a successful
and growing company. Thanks PSE for all you do and for partnering
with ISA!"
