Alvernia University business student Lindsay Martin of Albrightsville made her mark on the regional sales stage.

Under the guidance of Assistant Professor of Business Jane Brooker, Ph.D., MBA, Martin recently competed in the Keystone Sales Challenge hosted by Commonwealth University-Bloomsburg, followed by the Susquehanna University Department of Communications Speed Sell Competition and is recognized for participating in the Susquehanna University Department of Communications Speed Sell Competition.

“The sales competitions have gained momentum despite Alvernia having only one sales class, and many of the participating students haven’t taken the class,” Brooker said. “After the invitation to join a competition by a fellow colleague at another local Pa. university, students attended and were hooked, and couldn’t get enough.

“Students are always encouraging me to find new and more competitions. Each competition reinforces our students’ ability to think quickly, communicate effectively, and represent Alvernia with professionalism and pride.”

Brooker plans to continue bringing students to more sales competitions each semester.
