Everyone always told me, through every lemonade stand, through every cupcake sale, I was meant to be in business. I knew how to sell things from a young age. Pursuing the sales certificate at Iowa State is preparing me for a successful career in business.
Prioritizing student success
The Houston Professional Sales Suite is home of the Ivy sales program. Started in spring 2019, the new program is off to a great start. Sales Education Foundation, a non-profit organization that elevates the sales profession through college and university programs, recently named the new Ivy program a “Top University Sales Program in 2019.” Since sales is at the heart of most business enterprises, leaders at the Ivy College of Business invested in this program as a result of market demand and dedicated an entire suite in the new Gerdin Business Building expansion to this area.
The suite allows space for sales education and real-life practice that will put you in front of the competition.
