The annual Bayou Sales Challenge, hosted by the College of Business Administration at Nicholls State University, allows students to show off their professional sales skills in an intense, head-to-head competition with peers.  This marks the competition's 17th year.

 

Due to COVID-19, this year's competition is limited to five schools.  But, like before, it begins with a panel discussion on professional sales careers led by leaders in the field.

This regional sales competition is an opportunity for students to compete in sales role-plays and meet with sales professionals who are looking for fresh talent to fill sales positions.  It is also an opportunity to network with other sales program directors and students. 

 

Each spring, in Thibodaux, LA, the Bayou Sales Challenge has connected southern charm to unique learning experiences.  The 2021 competition will be unlike any other before it!  Albeit virtual, the 2021 competition ensures the same rigor as before.

On behalf of Nicholls State University and the College of Business Administration, welcome to the Bayou Sales Challenge!

 

"Celebrating the talent we see each year at the Bayou Sales Challenge is something to look forward to.  I am honored to carry the torch for a wonderful program that enables such a unique opportunity of #impact."
