How it Works
- Modality Guide - updated version coming August 2025
- Students are completing their information gathering role plays on October 27+28 and March 16+17
- Read the assignment schedule (posted around 1 week prior) and find the students you have been grouped with. There are multiple session blocks, so please read the entire sheet to know if you have been scheduled for 1, 2, 3, or more blocks. The schedule also includes the ESSPS Teams meeting links for each block that is online.
- Watch the information gathering role play for your assigned professional sales students and complete an evaluation before the actual session. Role plays are able to be viewed on mobile devices.
- The assignment schedule, evaluation form, role play scenario, and role play videos are all in the PSLS 3440 Sales and PSLS 3080 Purchasing Role Plays team > General channel. Please review the role play scenario so you can better understand the context of the sales interaction. You will receive an email from UToledo's Microsoft Teams that you have been granted access to the team. Access emails will go out Tuesday evening after role plays are completed.
- Day of - Onsite
- Check-in to SB 4100. Extra evaluation forms, coffee, water, and snacks will be available. You will be directed to your coaching location shortly before the class starts.

- Meet your professional sales students in your coaching location (see assignment schedule) and conduct coaching sessions using the role play recording and evaluation as relevant
- Day of - Online

- Wait for the ESSPS Admin to launch the preassigned breakout rooms. Once launched, you may need to click Join to enter your private breakout room.
- Meet your professional sales students in your private Teams breakout room for the Corporate Coaching Session and conduct coaching sessions using the role play recording and evaluation as relevant. Screen sharing will be enabled; Teams training.
