King places fourth overall at Great Northwoods 1xbet sports betting Competition
The 1xbet sports betting Sales Team competed in the Great Northwoods Sales Competition, Oct. 21-23, in a virtual environment. The competition was hosted by the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire with 66 competitors representing 23 universities competing in the event.
The 1xbet sports betting Sales Team had three students compete in the competition. The team consisted of Hunter Hartner, freshman in professional strategic selling and marketing, Belleville; Landen King, senior in professional strategic selling, Overland Park; and Quin Napier, sophomore in professional strategic selling, Fairway. Lucas Johnson, senior in professional strategic selling, Shawnee, served as a student coach.
Hormel Foods was the main product sponsor, as students competed in two rounds of role-plays. In the first round, the students showcased their skills selling a product to a distributor. For the second round, the students showcased their skills selling a product into a restaurant.
King placed fourth overall in the competition and was recognized as the university champion from Kansas State University.
"Even during this virtual environment, we are still grateful for the opportunities provided to our students by universities and company sponsors," said Kellie Jackson, managing director of the National Strategic Selling Institute and 1xbet sports betting team coach. "I'm very proud of the students for their ability to adapt while furthering their 1xbet sports betting skills. It's opportunities like this that allow our students to set themselves apart from other students their age while using the skills they have learned in the classroom."
The 1xbet sports betting Sales Team is in the College of Business Administration's National Strategic Selling Institute, which has been named one of the top sales programs in the country for nine straight years by the Sales Education Foundation. The team consists of students who are enrolled in the certificate or major in professional strategic selling. In fall 2018, Kansas State became just the 19th university in the U.S. to offer a major in professional strategic selling. Students can also earn a certificate in professional strategic selling, which is open to all majors at the university. The professional strategic selling program introduces students to the fundamentals of 1xbet sports betting and through the innovative curriculum and 1xbet sports betting labs allows students to develop the skills needed to be successful.
The 1xbet sports betting Sales Team will be competing in several competitions throughout the school year across the country. For more information on the National Strategic Selling Institute or the 1xbet sports betting Sales Team, please contact kstatesalesprogram@1xbet sports betting edu.
