Over 25 companies and 130 students participated in UNH Sales' annual Spring Sales Competition and Career Fair, held on March 9-10.
The competition challenged each participant to pitch the same product within a set timeframe to sales professionals from various industries. These professionals provided feedback and selected the top performers for subsequent rounds.
This roleplay opportunity allowed students to apply their classroom and extracurricular learning to a scenario that closely mimics real-world experiences. While initial rounds were conducted in breakout rooms, the finals were held as a public event.
Congratulations to Layla Hanissian for winning the competition and securing the $1,000 top prize.
Other awardees included:
-
Cameron Livingstone: $500
-
Sofia DiRuscio: $300
-
Finalists Avery Langone and Anne-Marie Maughn: $100 each
The career fair, integral to the competition, offered students the chance to earn stickers by visiting company booths. These stickers could later be exchanged for money and prizes at Friday’s Casino Night, with each company visit earning one sticker.
Thank you to all the business professionals who dedicated their time to both the competition and the job fair.
