"After I graduated I became the Director of Marketing and Public Relations for a successful software company due to the Job Placement assistance at the College. I was able to come in and start in an executive position only because of what I had learned. In the six months I've been working here, we have increased sales by 40% over the previous year."

Success Story from Associate Degree Student Who Received Classmates’ Help

HCA- Blog 18I am extremely thrilled that Janz Gonzalez and Elena Kalinina could pull off selling Canon’s album! In the past I have tried to have people sell our CDs to cold public and they were not successful. The difference with these two is that they had sales training as part of their associate degree. It really does pay off to be trained in selling and to be able to overcome objections the prospect has and get him to commit.

I also am happy that they took names and info of people who were interested in the CD but didn’t have cash. I will be contacting them and with my sales training, selling them on not only a CD, but on an upcoming show as well.

By Cassidy Turbin, a student on the associate degree program at the Hubbard College of Administration (HCA), Los Angeles, CA. The HCA is a self-paced business school that offers an exceptional business administration curriculum, unique learning technology, life-changing internships, assistance with job placement and a lifetime warranty for students. I recently completed the sales course and am currently on the degree internship.

    I know how you feel Cassidy; I have received a lot of help from many students. HCA Int. is also about team work, students help each other and everyone benefits from it.
    Our Sales Course is amazing; I was doing sells for a company for about 2 years and after learning the sales tech from HCA Int. I sold much more that I used to. There is a lot of data a sales person needs to apply, and many sales people don’t know them. For example not making the customer wrong that was one of the things that was very interesting to learn and it was key to my success.
    Let us know who your sales are going :)
