Group 2- Art Walk and Sales

This week, we went over the Art Walk ideas, and my group started our rotation with the sales department today.

When going over the Art Walk ideas, Dan outlined their plan for the art walk centered around Group 4's Discover theme. Although they didn't keep the idea of the scavenger hunt, they did decide on a photo contest being specifically promoted to the University of San Diego. They had some other ideas as well such as including photo booths, foot prints leading to the booth, etc. that had been mentioned in presentations. Then, we were given responsibilities for each group. Our group is in charge of campus marketing. Aside from the social media that a different group is focusing on, we will be responsible for promoting it via our kiosks, our USD website, residence halls, art department, etc. We created an entire list of places we would contact as options for marketing this idea.

Today, Group 2 began our rotation with the sales department. It sounds like they had forgotten we were coming, so they asked one of their workers named Kevin to basically give us a Sales 101 talk. He outlined the basics of selling in a way that helped the seller secure their position, and helped the buyer find something that meets their need. He also applied his technique that he taught us to the job-interviewing process, and gave us some tips on interviewing that were very helpful. We're not sure what we will be doing with them next week, but so far it's been pretty interesting!

Have a good break everyone!
