They are teaching us the same things that I learned in my sales classes there at ISU. That prior knowledge is giving me a tremendous head start in my work and wanted to thank the ISU sales faculty for providing us with such up to date courses and training. If you ever need anything from me or have any students wondering if they should take the sales classes, just send them my phone number and I´ll sing the praises of the program.”

At the end of my final interview, they ask me to role play selling a TV set that was in the meeting room we were in. I used everything I learned in sales class! I ask them questions about what they were looking for and how they were going to use it and then presented the features and benefits that matched what they were looking for.
On that basis, I also worked through several objections and closed them on it. Needless to say, they were quite surprised with my impromptu selling performance. The role plays we did in class gave me the experience and confidence I needed to nail down my position with this company. Thank you for everything . . . keep up the good work.”
"; ar_studentText[ar_studentText.length] = "I also wanted to let you know that of all the classes I took in college, the sales class was the one class that gave me an edge when I started my job. The reason for this email is to really thank the sales faculty for doing what they do so well. I truly think that I have my job because of what I learned in sales class. In every interview, I brought up what I had learned and was able to give examples. They were quite impressed that courses such as these are offered at a university. Thanks for everything.”
"; ar_studentText[ar_studentText.length] = "Research projects, impromptu presentations, and role-plays were the last thing I was looking for in a class and you will never know how close I was to dropping in favor of a different course that did not involve that level of work. I´m glad that I stayed with the sales class and it seems impossible that the hardest class I took while at ISU was also the best class I took.
I use my experiences from class everyday here in my work. I am an account manager for a high-tech, digital business solutions company here in Chicago. My efforts are focused on new business development and I am involved in the consultative sales process from beginning to end creating value for my customers.”
"; ar_studentText[ar_studentText.length] = "What my job consists of is selling rail cars of soybean meal and oil products to customers throughout the United States as well as buying agricultural commodities. I am working for the leading company in the industry and doing very well. In fact I have received a number of significant promotions.
The point of all this is that I want you to know that my sales class was not only my favorite, but it was also the most useful in my entire college career. I use my skills that I learned and practiced in personal sales class on a daily basis, in my career as well as in my personal life. Sales class should be a required course for every student in the college regardless of their major. Thanks for setting me up to succeed.”
