Develop key transferable workplace skills with the Student Sales Academy
Published: 24/01/2023
Sales skills are valuable to more roles than just sales. Attend our Student Sales Academy to learn transferable skills such as: communication, negotiation, influencing, problem solving, creative thinking and rapport building.
You might think that sales skills are just for sales-based roles. However, this is far from the truth. Sales skills include a whole range of transferable skills that can be applied to most industries and sectors. These include communication, negotiation, influencing, problem solving, creative thinking, rapport building and so much more.
Through workshops delivered by industry experts, the Student Sales Academy is designed to help you reflect on your own abilities and to develop these key transferable skills.
You’ll also hear from industry professionals about the range of sales-related roles and the skills required to be successful in them. We’ll be joined by a variety of employers including Bosch, Brindis, Dell, Enterprise-Rent-a-Car, Experian and Nottingham Law School.
"This programme will help you think about the world of work, specifically sales, and how you can take this experience and apply it to the roles you're hoping to secure. This programme has helped me define the specific area I want to go into and what skills I need to try and improve before graduating."
