Professional Selling Minor

Training for the minor in Sales is intended to provide career-ready sales skills for students who intend to pursue a career in Sales. The minor provides a greater understanding of the sales process and its integration with other marketing and management activities. While having similar core requirements (basics of personal selling and advanced sales) as the Professional Sales Certificate, the additional required coursework for the Sales Minor places a greater emphasis on sales management, consumer psychology, sales theory and underlying processes.
