Bachelor of Science - Sales- Business-to-Business

Sales professionals play a major role in helping customers select the sources for their goods and services. Strong skills in sales can help any job candidate survive a competitive business landscape. Cultivating sales skills pays off, even in times of recession. Because most sales professionals are compensated based on their performance, experts can earn significant salaries and commissions. The demand for skilled, experienced sales managers is growing faster than the average for all other jobs in the next decade. Students can specialize in niche fields to become more successful. A major in business-to-business sales can be combined with a minor in business administration or finance or communication studies to develop expertise in those niche areas.

Students can capitalize on the many emerging opportunities for women in the sales profession. The St. Kate's sales program will prepare students to become a knowledgeable, ethical professional in a rewarding career. Starting salaries of $45,000 or more are common, and experienced sales people can easily reach incomes of $100,000 or higher. Studies show that more CEOs of U.S. corporations come from sales, marketing and finance than from any other area of the company.

The classroom experience  is dynamic with students preparing for their healthcare sales career by practicing their sales skills with buyer role plays, understanding the importance of time and territory management, learning how to negotiate for win-win situations with customers, and building confidence with product presentations. 

Students also participate in four sales competitions during the academic year. Several Sales graduates have participated in the prestigious Mayo Innovation Scholars Program sponsored by Mayo Clinic.
