A great event idea for BYU would be a "Sales Shark Tank" Competition hosted by the Sales Society. Students interested in sales and business development could pitch a product or service to a panel of industry professionals acting as "investors." Participants would have to demonstrate strong sales skills, including handling objections and closing deals.The event could include networking opportunities with sales leaders from companies like BambooHR, Podium, and Qualtrics, allowing students to make valuable connections. A prize for the best pitch—such as a cash award, internship opportunity, or mentorship—would make it even more engaging. This event would provide hands-on sales experience while fostering connections between students and potential employers.

I am an active member of the BYU Sales Society, where I have participated in networking events, case studies, and sales competitions. I also attended the Sales Society Networking Trip in November, which played a significant role in shaping my career path. Additionally, I serve as the Managing Editor for the Marriott Student Review, where I’ve led content strategy, increased social media exposure by 30%, and coordinated interviews with industry professionals for our podcast. These experiences have strengthened my leadership, communication, and sales skills, all of which I hope to bring to future opportunities.
