When it comes to making sales, students in Salisbury University’s Franklin P. Perdue School of Business are winners — some of them literally.
Some 69 students recently vied for top honors during the SU Mid-Atlantic Sales and Marketing Institute’s (MASMI’s) biannual sales championship competition, held virtually.
Marketing major Robert Goyena of Ellicott City, MD, received $1,000 for his first-place finish. Runners-up included management and information systems major Adam Bavis of Bel Air, MD, in second place; marketing major Robert Walker of Union Bridge, MD, in third; and interdisciplinary studies major Roman Fuentes of Salisbury, in fourth.
Winners were decided by judges, buyers and observers representing prominent alumni, MASMI sponsors and local businesses.
Gold Sponsor Choptank Transport also was the product sponsor. The four finalists were tasked with selling the shipping logistics company’s services to its CEO, Geoff Turner.
