Students representing Georgia Southern’s Center for Sales Excellence went to work to defend their title and maintained the Center’s reputation as a perennial RNMKRS high-performer and one of the nation’s top sales programs.
“We are so proud of our students and the effort they put into this competition,” explained Linda Mullen, Ph.D., associate professor of marketing and co-director of the Center for Sales Excellence at Georgia Southern University. “Ten semesters in a row, the students of Georgia Southern have excelled in the RNMKRS sales role-play competition. The RNMKRS Pro role-play is extremely challenging, and it pushes our students to demonstrate the grit and determination needed to succeed in a career in professional selling. I applaud the efforts of RNMKRS for always staying ahead of the curve and continuing to innovate the field of sales education.”
