Sales is the backbone of any business and how companies generate revenue. Businesses require a properly trained sales force that can build successful relationships and think strategically.
The Bachelor of Arts degree in Sales Management at Belhaven University will prepare students with skills necessary for success in a sales career, and more broadly, needed skills for building mutually beneficial professional relationships. The ability to sell, the ability to effectively communicate the value of an idea, product, service, or person, and to create win-win situations—is vital to success in a wide variety of positions and career options, including for-profit industry, non-profit organizations, government, and more.
Furthermore, many high-level executives and organizational leaders begin their careers as a salesperson and rise to the top of their profession by effectively utilizing sales skills. Sales management is the process of initiating, developing, and enhancing customer relationships, and meeting needs by creating, communicating, and delivering value. It consists of a sequence of activities, including prospecting for potential customers, gaining an understanding of customer needs, communicating the value of an offering as a means of satisfying those needs, closing the sale, earning commitment from a customer, and maintaining and enhancing long-term customer relationships, while exemplifying the Christian Worldview.
Additionally, Belhaven Sales Management majors will take four upper-level online classes through Belhaven’s RIZE partnership to address high level courses.
