Bauer College\u2019s Program for Excellence in Selling<\/a> (PES) students took their sales skills beyond their typical geographic boundaries, meeting with top executives on a Key Accounts class trip to Chicago.\u00a0<\/p>\n The prestigious undergraduate sales program requires students to meet actual sales quotas from the jump, encouraging them to build working relationships and become comfortable engaging with industry professionals.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n Toward the end of students\u2019 time in PES, their developed confidence is put to the test during the Key Accounts class trip. Ahead of time, student teams must call and book several in-person meetings with high-ranking executives. On the trip, students step out of their comfort zone to interact directly with sales leaders and see how they can apply what they\u2019ve learned in the corporate landscape.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cThe C-suite can provide a clear view of the organization\u2019s goals and objectives, helping our sales students find unique opportunities for the Sales Excellence Institute<\/a> to better serve the business community,\u201d Director of Corporate Relations John Pingel<\/a> said. \u201cAs a part of our curriculum, it\u2019s also important for our sales students to meet with executives to learn about how they organize their sales efforts and build sales strategies.”\u00a0<\/p>\n On this semester’s trip, one team sat down with executives from Paramount and the Chicago Cubs. After coming back to Houston, they shared how the trip prepared them for sales careers.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source bauerstories.uh.edu \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Bauer College\u2019s Program for Excellence in Selling (PES) students took their sales skills beyond their typical geographic boundaries, meeting with top executives on a Key Accounts class trip to Chicago.\u00a0 The prestigious undergraduate sales program requires students to meet actual sales quotas from the jump, encouraging them to build working relationships and become comfortable engaging […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2194452,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"jnews-multi-image_gallery":[],"jnews_single_post":[],"jnews_primary_category":[],"jnews_social_meta":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[25172],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2194451","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-entertainment"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Selling-Chi-Town.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2194451","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2194451"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2194451\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2194453,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2194451\/revisions\/2194453"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2194452"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2194451"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2194451"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2194451"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
