Alumni Talk about Sales and the Consultative Selling Program
Ruth Guthrie
It’s the end of the day and three engaging alums joined the Advanced Selling class in the CoLab for some straight talk about what it’s like to have a sales job. Three alums, one senior and one Executive In Residence, John Tush, met with Dr. Fabrize’s class to invite students to apply for Cal Poly Pomona’s elite sales mentoring program.
Nick Gabel, Andres Gonzales, Steve Coppell and David Martinez are personable, humble, extremely well spoken. Quickly, it becomes obvious that these four are the real deal. They’ve gone from simple student jobs to building lucrative careers in jobs that they love.
