Dear Professional Selling Students:
I can not believe that this week + 1 day next week is our last day of class. I would personally like to thank each and every one of you for doing your best to complete the assignments given during this time. I had never taught online before and you all know I love being in class and infront of and interacting with students. I was caught a bit off guard when I suddenly had to switch to an online environment. Truth be told, I did not even know what Zoom was or how to use it. I did not have my lectures online or prerecorded like many of the other instructors. I am praying that in the Fall, classes will resume and we can all be together, but if you do take more classes from me, and we are online, I will have all lectures and classes live online using a Zoom platform as video and audio to interact with all of you. I will take this summer to figure out how to deliver the best classroom, no classroom experience online. I miss your smiling faces.
Bravo! to all for learning Professional Selling on your own. I am proud of each and every one of you, and although it was not an optimal learning experience, I hope the text, lecture notes and assignments gave you some insight to the skills necessary to become an effective and empathetic sales person.
You have one exam left, (below), Exam 3: chapter 7, 8, 9, 10 which will be due on Monday, May 11th. This will be our last day of class.
Email exam answersheet to [email protected]
Have a wonderful summer. Please come see me, or take more Marketing classes in the Fall. Phone me, write me anytime with any questions you may have about life, career, colleges, grad school etc. I wish I could have had a chance to get to know you all better. You truly are a great group of students. Go take life by the horns, and crush it in whatever you set out to do.
With gratitude,
Professor Marilyn Goodman

Week of April 27 & 29
Great job on Research Assignment 3: Preparing a Sales Dialogue. I am almost done grading your assignments and will have grades and comments back to you this week. In the meanwhile, let's continue by reading the following Chapters in your text and lecture notes. Now that you understand the complete sales process, the last two chapters (and I believe most important) are about building relationships (a must in sales) and providing long term value to customers.
Unfortunately, we will not be able to do our final Sales Pitch Presentations, as originally scheduled on our assignments. Instead, we will just complete the semester with our last Exam #3: Chapter 7, 8, 9, 10 which I will post next week.
Have a safe and healthy week.

Week of April 20 & 22
Dear Students:
Great job to all of you on Exam 2. I have corrected all of your exams and you have your results and grades. Let me know if not.
Don't forget that this Wednesday, April 22, your third research paper is due. Pay close attention the the research paper assignment --there are FOUR questions.
This week we are going to learn about handling objections and why is it Important for a Salesperson to Anticipate a Buyer’s Concerns and Objections? You will read about the different categories of objections, and how to listen for and anticipate the correct responses. Pay attention to the LAARC - Listen, Acknowledge, Access, Respond and Concern system for negotiating buyer resistance and which is a positive way to keep the sales dialogue positive and moving forward. Finally, study the techniques professional sales representatives use for earning commitment.
Read: Chapter 8: Addressing Concerns & Earning Commitment in your textbook and review the lecture notes.
Watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rePnYdjfHaE - a short video on 5 easy steps to handling objections.

Dear Students:
I am hoping you are all healthy and finding things to do around the home or apartment that both pass the time, and are educational. I am so sorry that our time together got cut short, for I do miss all of your smiling faces very much.
