SEF Top Sales Education Programs for 2014
Elevate Our Sales Profession
If you read this blog, you’ve read the words…
“let’s continue to elevate our sales profession…”
at the end of almost every post. I’ve been saying this for years, and believe it wholeheartedly.
When I first came across the Sales Education Foundation (SEF), I was pleased and not surprised to see that their motto (clearly displayed on their homepage, as of this writing) is “Elevating The Sales Profession.”
Programs listed in the Sales Education Foundation’s 2014 ANNUAL are recognized for developing and preparing students for careers in professional selling roles.
The ANNUAL provides contact information and important stats, such as program types and accreditations for each program, as well as some Q&A, articles and excellent resources. You can find the document online at http://salesfoundation.org. If you navigate to Resources, you’ll see a lot of sample resources for your perusal. To see the 2014 ANNUAL, simply register (it’s free) and login, so you can download it.
Support Sales Education
I typically only publicly ask for support of humanitarian or relief effort causes, but if you have the interest and the means, I hope you will support the Sales Education Foundation.
For clarity, SEF is a charitable corporation, a true 501c, a division of the Dayton Foundation. Besides the Annual, programs, and curricula provided to schools, the SEF provides research grants of up to $15K over 3 years for sales research, funded by Neil Rackham. And they provide $1,000 scholarships (funded by Chally).
With that said, one sure way to elevate our profession is through an investment in quality university programs that truly prepare our upcoming generations for a career in professional selling and sales management. If you have the interest and resources to donate, you can explore options here. Join people like Neil Rackham, Howard Stevens, Geoffrey James, Andy Zoltners, Jason Jordan, and hey – me – in supporting the Sales Education Foundation and the universities, students and businesses that they support.
Check ’em out. They deserve it.
In the meantime, thanks for reading, be safe out there, and by all means… you know I’m going to say it… let’s continue to elevate our sales profession.
