Partner with students from Holy Cross College in a project-based experience. Students will work on one main project over the course of the semester, connecting with you as needed with virtual communication tools.
Personal Selling and Negotiation learners are prepared to work on projects focused on sales strategies and negotiation techniques. These students are learning how to make powerful sales presentations, manage client relationships, and master sales tactics using the Harvard method of negotiations.
They can help your team by crafting persuasive pitches, creating strategic sales plans, and participating in mock negotiations to refine your approach. They can also develop account management strategies to build stronger customer relationships and drive growth.
