Sales
The Program for Excellence in Selling is the leading sales program in the nation. Housed in the C. T. Bauer College of Business, it provides its students with a variety of skills and unique opportunities that help them stand out. As a first semester student in PES, I have learned many valuable lessons such as dealing with different communication styles, finding ways to solve people’s problems, and most importantly, how to present my personal brand with confidence.

As an intern at Merill Lynch during the summer of 2016, I was responsible for contacting client prospects and explaining the firm’s services to them.

During my time at Merill Lynch, I was able to design and implement new sales techniques that increased productivity by over 200%. These sales strategies are now a common practice at the company. Interning at Merill Lynch helped me grow in confidence, prepared me for my future in sales, and encouraged me to pursue my dreams.
