Out of a field of over 300 students, six students were chosen to attend the National Collegiate Sales Competition March 15-17 in Atlanta, Georgia.  Ms. Jill Elmore and Mr. Brian Poulter were the presenters to represent Texas State in the corporate selling role play competition. Also attending were Ms. Lindsey Coble, first-alternate, and Ms. Angela Berterro, Mr. Anthony Tropea, and Ms. Katie Fore.  Working for over three months to prepare, the Texas State students matched their skills against a field of 88 students from 44 universities around the country, finishing in the top thirteen universities.

The 43 corporate sponsors of the event include many well known companies such as:  Liberty Mutual, Standard Register, Supplemental Health Care, Primary Capital, Federated Insurance, Dell, Inc. GlaxoSmithKline, Novartis and EMC, to name a few.  The students are highly recruited since they represent some of the most well-trained professional selling students entering the workforce.
