Sales Training and Beyond

Hello Everyone!

This first week at UT has been great so far. Our group has been assigned to the marketing department, but  if I didn't know any better I would think that our group was the third sales group. Therefore, I am excited to see what they have in store for us on Monday.

I also attended the Sales Training today along with many of you. I think it is awesome that UT allowed us to attend. I definitely learned some valuable information today that I don't think I would have learned in a classroom. I also liked the fact that we were always included in the activities.

On another note, I know that most of the class is excited about the idea of having the end of the year project hosted off campus, but I wanted to share some information with you first. When Devyn and I arrived at the Sales Training this morning we got the chance to talk to Mike Hodges before we got started. He asked how the event planning was going, and we said we were trying to nail down a date and location. After telling him about the Wave House idea, he said that he would rather have the event on the USD campus. He felt like having the event on campus would provide a better connection between UT/DiscoverSD and USD. He also mentioned the event he planned while in college and how it was a huge campus event. On the other hand, he also said that he would not be opposed to a different location if we could pull off an incredible event. I know there are many drawbacks to planning an event on campus. I just wanted to share this information with you because it is definitely something to think about.

Have a great night!
