The MIT-Sloan Sales Club, invites the Rotman School of Management to its 2012 MIT-Sloan Sales Competition. This competition is an invitation-only individual and team event where students will need to do a case pitch to a panel of experts. Use this opportunity to showcase your sales, marketing, and strategy talents.
The Competition is a unique opportunity for MBA students to win prestige, $10,000 in cash prizes, recruiting opportunities (intern and full time), and to network with fellow MBA students and professionals from around the world. The competition consists of a preliminary round case telephone pitch (5 minutes), and a final round in-person individual & team case pitch (15 minutes). The case pitches will test a competitor’s ability to build rapport, and persuasively present a business proposition. Each school will be invited to send their top 3 students to MIT Sloan in November to compete in the final round.
