Description

The Thurmond School of Professional Sales and Negotiations at Old Dominion University (ODU) is the first school devoted to professional sales in the country. ODU sales students get opportunities to learn sales skills in real time: whether through fundraising to make "quota", tracking activity in HubSpot CRM, learning how to negotiate job offers and six weeks of improv training from a professional comedian to learn to think quickly on their feet and adapt in real-time.
