Sales Week

This week we wrapped up our time in the Sales group. On Monday we met with our entire group that was in Sales (I believe it was about 10 of us total). We discussed what we learned and encountered on our "ride-alongs" with the salespeople last week and continued by filling out a paper about our experiences in the sales department. Overall, it was interesting to see all the different aspects that are conquered through the sales team. Today we met with our entire class to discuss the end event. The UT mentors came up with the idea to showcase our work for the UT through the event they are sponsoring in April called the ArtWalk which takes place in Little Italy. They will have numerous booths there and want us to come up with an over-arching theme for the booths and to entice people to subscribe to either the newspaper or one of the email lists (whether it be Daily Deals, Discover SD, etc.) As a group of 5 we will present our concept to a panel on Wednesday March 14th where the UT panel will then decide which idea they like best. Our group plans to meet hopefully once over Spring Break and then again on Monday and Tuesday when we return back to school, as we'll be presenting on Wednesday. We've already come up with a few good ideas and I look forward to where this event will lead.
