What is the Blugold Sales Challenge?
UW-Eau Claire students competing at the Blugold Sales Challenge are involved in a 20-minute sales role-play using the sponsoring company’s product or service. Sales professionals from the sponsor company will judge the role plays. Student competitors receive their evaluation sheets and are given access to digital recordings of their role plays to review, critique, and/or include in their digital portfolio.
All participants receive a Blugold Sales Challenge Certificate. Students also receive points towards the University Sales Center Alliance Certified Sales Student Certificate.
Your performance in the Blugold Sales Challenge determines whether you are selected to represent UW-Eau Claire in Great Northwoods Sales Warm-Up, Collegiate World Cup of Sales, or other sales competitions held around the country.
