Corporate Partners

Organizations seeking to establish greater visibility of their companies through class presentations, speaker presentations, or mentor opportunities as well as access to the top students in the selling program will benefit from a partnership relationship with the Institute. Corporate Partners are actively involved in our programs, interact with students throughout the year, and serve on the Advisory Board. The Advisory Board provides advice and counsel to guide our sales program and meets once annually to review the strategic plan, programs, and initiatives of the Institute.

Multiple Levels of Partnership

An extensive program of student scholarships and awards along with the activities and programs of the Sales Institute are self funded through the annual support and financial contributions of our Corporate Partners. We thank our partners for their support and helping us to develop Illinois State ’s sales students as tomorrow’s sales stars and leaders, to support the sales profession with award winning sales research, and to provide leading edge executive development programs.

Corporate partnerships are available at the following levels:

Platinum Partner (Annual sponsorship of $5,000 or more)
Gold Partner (Annual sponsorship of $3,000 to $4,999)
Silver Partner (Annual sponsorship of $2,000 to $2,999)
Bronze Partner (Annual sponsorship of $1,000 to $1,999)

Partnership with the Institute is available on an annual basis timed to match the traditional academic year (July 1st to June 31st). Organizations interested in partnerships will be asked to complete a pledge card and payment can be made anytime during the academic year to accommodate the budgeting needs of the sponsoring organization. For example, an organization could make one lump sum payment anytime during the pledge year or spread the payments throughout the year.
