                    an often understated subject in the business arena. The purpose 
                    and mission of this course is to expose you to the concepts 
                    and importance of personal sales in business. Personal Selling 
                    is an important part of the marketing function...think of 
                    it as the connection between the client or customer and the

                    weeks we will be examining at length the role and processes 
                    of personal selling and it's place in the business world, 
                    as well as society.  In almost every facet of our lives, we are "selling" 
                    something. Whether it be products or ideas, by our very nature 
                    we are at times selling. Good salespeople can be the heartbeat 
                    of a successful firm. Throughout this course we will examine 
                    just why we care to study and understand a salesforce and 
                    find things one can do to be more successful with the selling 
                    experience. |
