St. Cloud State University and the Department of Marketing in the Herberger Business School has been named a 2015 Top University for Professional Sales Education by the Sales Education Foundation (SEF).
SEF works with recognized universities to define and offer in-depth sales education. The list recognizes universities for preparing students for careers in professional selling and helping elevate the sales profession. Top sales programs average more than 92 percent of the job workforce in a sales-orientated role.
In fall 2014, St. Cloud State unveiled its Northwestern Mutual Sales Lab, part of the Herberger Business School’s new Professional Selling Specialization program to meet the ongoing demand for university graduates in the professional selling and sales management field.
“St. Cloud State students will gain comparative advantage when they enter the job market and as they progress through their selling and sales management careers,” said Dennis Bristow, a professor and chairman of the marketing department.
