Today is the Panther Sales Tournament where 100+ students from Florida International University (FIU) and other state, national and international universities will go head to head in a challenging series of B2B selling sessions.


Three of the participants will walk away with prize money and trophies. Axxis Solutions is a proud sponsor and participant of the tournament and FIU’s Global Sales Program. Our Corporate Sales Training Room at FIU’s College of Business (view image) provides a venue for students to exercise sales strategies, negotiation skills and objection handling techniques. The room is fitted with state-of-the-art video and sound equipment that allows the students to record their role-plays in high-definition. Allowing them the opportunity to review the sessions and see their play by play action to identify ways to improve their sales performance.


Tomorrow, I will have the privilege to participate as a buyer, and the students will be selling me. Being on the other side of the table feels really good. I can’t wait to see what these students have in their quiver of sales techniques.


Many sales teams have hired developers to build mobile sales apps, especially for electronic collateral. Unfortunately, the contract developer disappears once the app is launched, and it’s a complete surprise to your IT helpdesk when calls start coming in. The app quickly gets out-of-date, support can’t respond, and user satisfaction drops. Don’t forget that there are hundreds of high-quality packaged business apps already available for mobile, so, in most cases, you can actually use something off the shelf instead of building it. If you decide to build anyway, make sure to involve those in the organization who can help with proper design and ongoing support.


If you or your company would like to support this great program, feel free to contact me via Inbox. This is an opportunity for to come face to face with top-caliber individuals who are seeking a future in selling, and who are poised to be the future sales leaders of forward-looking corporations. Let the selling begin!
