👀 Our competition is... just... different (how?⬇️). A few judging spots available: https://lnkd.in/dpVfVXtT 1) Prompts are based on profiles of real customers. 2) Students role-play in front of multiple sales professionals/executives as well as their peers. 3) Students have a portfolio of products to choose from (not just one), and there are wrong answers. If the students do not match a solution to the problem at hand, the customer will say no. 4) Sales professionals/executives provide feedback immediately after the role-play. 5) Winners are not chosen based on revenue alone. It's about solving the customer's problem and having a natural, unscripted conversation. 6) Students have had the prompt for a few days, not weeks or months. 7) ***These role-plays are designed to prepare students for real meetings they are having.
