How the Top 36 Students Will Be Selected
Students who have successfully completed their basic sales class, PSLS 3440, and who have NOT accepted a job offer
for post graduation are eligible to apply for the senior division of the competition (18 senior spots). All other
professional sales students who are also available for internships within the next 12 months are eligible for the junior
division of the competition (18 junior spots). Students are required to submit a resume, cover letter stating why they
should be selected to compete, and a link to a self selected role play (role play link not required for students who
have not taken PSLS 3440). Materials should be sent to edwardschmidtschool@utoledo.edu by February 6.
The sales faculty team reviews the applicants and selects the top 36 based on demonstrated conceptual selling skills,
academic performance, professionalism, and career placement status. The top 36 are selected to compete, and the
remaining attend as guides and tabulators.
