Presentation # 2 (Group Presentation) Guidelines

· Students must prepare a 15-20 minutes sales presentation based on a chosen product or service from a personal selling organization of their choice. Students are encouraged to apply as much as possible the approaches, strategies and techniques taught in the course.
