SALES LEADERSHIP
CENTER
ABOUT THE SALES LEADERSHIP CENTER The Sales Leadership Center (SLC) is dedicated to the education, training and development of sales leaders and the discovery and dissemination of sales knowledge. We accomplish this through curriculum, competitions and events for students and through faculty research and scholarship. We serve as a crucial conduit between the University of Denver and the private sector, creating partnerships that focus on solving problems related to three domains:
SALES EDUCATION
SALES RESEARCH
The Sales Leadership minor blends innovative sales education with practical sales experience—a combination that enables students to launch and succeed in a career in sales leadership or marketing. The minor is available to all DU undergraduate students, except those pursuing a major or minor in marketing.
The research mission of the SLC is to conduct cuttingedge scientific analysis of the sales profession and provide insights to managers on state-of-the-art methods to build and maintain a competitive edge within their sales organizations. We work closely with managers and executives on projects aimed at providing both practical implications for them regarding particular issues they face as well as scientific findings for academic audiences.
OUTREACH AND RECRUITING

The result for your organization will be an increase in the talent pipeline and a reduction in cost to find successful new hires.
