Sales in a Box: engaging 45-minute session.

The APS wants to inspire young people to consider sales as a career destination. It has put together a short video of how fellows can create an engaging 45-minute session to promote sales in schools, APS Fellow Tim Chapman told the Journal. “The objective is to make it easy for an APS Fellow to host a brief interactive career presentation in your local secondary school without the need for lots of preparation.”

Flexible programme

The session fits into a standard lesson period but can be extended or shortened according to circumstances.

“By the end of the session, young students will have a much clearer idea of what a career in sales is like, and whether it might be a suitable career choice for them. For those who think it is, we will also offer guidance and support to help them build towards their chosen career destination,” Chapman said.
