Become a Partner
The Center for Sales Excellence’s corporate partners are a vital component to both the success of our sales students and to the meeting of the goals set by the Center. While we welcome all companies to recruit and interact with our sales students, our corporate partners are given special consideration during planned events and classroom experiences.
According to a survey of sales managers, sales program graduates ramp up 50% faster than their non-sales educated peers. They also experience 30% less turnover. Sales graduates are prepared for their roles through highly-specialized education featuring cutting-edge technologies.
