“The Pro-Am competition provides a competitive learning environment for aspiring sales professionals. Participants receive coaching from real sales professionals before the role play, and then receive instant feedback once the role play is completed--what could be better than that! You can read as many sales books as you want, but the Pro-Am sales competition is the best way to learn how to perform a sales call, identify your strengths, work on your weaknesses, connect with employers, and showcase your talent!"

"The Pro-Am Sales competition provides students the ability to strategically approach each situation within a real world business and leverage key features and attributes of a brand and gain knowledge of applications that can be utilized in a sales call."

"The Pro-Am Sell-A-Thon is the most beneficial competition someone interested in sales or marketing can compete in. Not only is there potential to win $$ and prizes, but even more important is the professional experience you receive. Yes, I realize you will get nervous. Everyone does. Even after competing in six different Pro-Ams, I still got nervous. But the payoff is so much greater than the effort you give and the nerves you experience. The opportunity to work with and present in front of numerous professionals not only improves sales skills but ALL business skills. In the real world, it is imperative to meet certain presentation expectations and tailor those presentations to your audience. The Pro-Am allows PSE members to hone these skills. What a great tool to practice for the real world!"
