Members from the Boise State University Professional Sales Team participated in the Pacific Northwest Sales Competition on Feb. 16 and 17 hosted by Oregon State University. Pacific Office Automation hosted the case scenario.
The team of Jenna Kline, the student coach, and students Donovan Benko, Baz Urban, Jadon Gramata and Eli Hasson competed against several universities including Arizona State University, Oregon State University, Washington State University, University of Wyoming, Cal State Fullerton, Utah State University and Chico State University.
Benko, Urban, Gramata and Hasson competed in the team role play competition and individual role play. The team clinched first place in the team role play competition and narrowly missed the individual finals.
“Although we had no one in the individual finals, their determination and resilience throughout the competition were truly commendable,” said Frank Veltri, faculty advisor. “The success of our team did not go unnoticed, all four team members were offered internships from companies attending the event. In addition, I want to recognize the outstanding contribution of Jenna Kline in her role as student coach.
The Boise State Professional Sales Team also has been invited to compete in the upcoming Western States Sales Competition and the King Hawaiian Sales Competition.
