The Edward H. Schmidt School of Professional Sales (ESSPS) in the College of Business Administration at The University of Toledo wants to leverage our closest business community relationships to advance our professional sales program. To continue to build on the outstanding work already being done, the ESSPS has Corporate Partners who provide financial support for the continued development of our outstanding professional sales program.
ESSPS Corporate Partners can expect to receive valuable benefits over their three year commitment to the ESSPS:
- Expand your brand’s audience with publicized recognition to students and business partners in the ESSPS event programs and website
- Align the sales education needs of your organization with the ESSPS by sharing your insight on the ESSPS Advisory Board
- Reinforce your company’s training by sending members of your sales team to the Sales Symposium (number of reserved seats depends on partnership level)
- Increase your sales reference resources to include best practice books, videos, and other materials in the ESSPS Sales Resource Center
- Augment and streamline your sales talent pipeline at exclusive events (ie: Networking Night and Speed Recruiting) attended by only professional sales majors, minors, and pre-sales majors
- Lower the risk associated with succession planning by recruiting students who build stronger relationships and trust, understand how an enterprise functions, have a lower probability of turnover, are quicker to produce tangible sales results, and are more likely to adopt technology
- Verify existing methods and identify new methods for improving the effectiveness of sales strategies with pre-publication access to ESSPS research
- Lower labor costs and find students who match your organization’s goals and culture by using ESSPS students in the Sales Associate Internship Program
