SALISBURY, MD—When it comes to making sales, students in Salisbury University’s Franklin P. Perdue School of Business are winners — some of them literally.
Some 76 students recently vied for top honors during the SU Mid-Atlantic Sales and Marketing Institute’s (MASMI’s) fifth biannual sales championship competition. The event included two contests, one for overall sales and one for elevator pitches.
Junior Lindsay Jones of Bishopville, MD received $1,000 for her first-place finish in the overall sales competition. Runners-up included senior Danielle Trybus of Frederick, MD, in second place; junior Rebecca Oberman of Mechanicsville, MD, in third and junior Natalie Eakin of Catonsville, MD, in fourth.

Senior Grace Broyhill of Arnold, MD, topped her competitors in the elevator pitch session, taking home a $100 prize. She was followed by junior Nicholas Teti of Queenstown, MD, in second; and senior Daniel Czajkowski of Brunswick, MD, in third.
Winners were decided by judges, buyers and observers representing MASMI sponsors and local businesses. The event followed an “etiquette dinner” for the students and corporate partners, also hosted by the institute.
Sponsors included Choptank Transport, Sunbelt Rentals, Aerotek, APPI Energy, Complete Document Solutions, Enterprise Rent-A-Car, Gartner, Northwestern Mutual, Orkin, Perdue, Pohanka of Salisbury, Risk Placement Services, Sherwin-Williams, Stanley Black & Decker, The Insurance Market and UNUM.
