Sales students excel in spring competitions
Sales students at the University of North Georgia (UNG) made strong showings in multiple sales competitions during the spring semester.
At the University of South Florida's (USF) Selling with the Bulls, a team of Diego Gomez-Sanchez, Grayson Huff, Emma Englishby, and Billy Brown took first place in the Copient AI Sales Prep Competition with a combined average of 97.5%. Also at the same event, the UNG group took fifth in the Top Bull Second Flight. Gomez-Sanchez and Englishby each placed in the Winners Circle Overall.
At the National Collegiate Sports Selling Competition, Austin Kort took fourth in the Speed Selling Competition and joined Brown in reaching the Sweet 16 in Corporate Partnerships.
"Students gained confidence by applying what they learned in class through role plays, competitions, networking, and industry engagement," said Joshua Singerman, lecturer of marketing and logistics and faculty adviser for the sales team. "The competition results were amazing, but the bigger success was seeing students develop professionally and turn those experiences into internships and jobs at companies like Arthrex and Crown."
UNG has also been invited to the fall 2026 Northeast Intercollegiate Sales Competition at Bryant University in Rhode Island.
