First Lenovo Guest Speaker Goes Live Tuesday!

Catch the first installment of the Lenovo Virtual Guest Speakers Series coming up this Tuesday, October 6 at 9:00 am ET. Invite students to hear from several Lenovo employees, where they talk about the winding pathways that brought them to one of the largest technology companies in the world.

Here is a project to try with your Academy of Finance students this week:

Finance & Business: Encourage your students to get creative through the project, “Sell, Sell, Sell!”, focused on consumer buying behavior. Students will learn how to be an excellent salesperson, explore the sales process, and demonstrate their newfound skills.

Part 1: Can YOU Sell? - Behind every sale is a successful salesperson, and an excellent salesperson could sell anything to anyone. Learn the steps of the selling process that gives you the power to successfully sell almost anything.

Part 2: Got Customer Sales? - What's your customer's personality? Explore how recognizing this will help in the sale process.

Part 3: Got Clientele? - Explore and be able to recognize the target market that companies will focus on due to their market.

Part 4: How well do YOU Sell? - This concluding part of the project has your students participate in a mock selling simulation that demonstrates their selling skills.
