Skills that translate to every career.

“More than 50% of college graduates will have a career in sales; however, less than 1% of students in the U.S. have formal sales training.” – Harvard Business Review

At the Sales Center in the TCU Neeley School of Business, we connect students to experienced faculty, partners and executives who lead in-class educational sessions. Through these relationships, students receive personal coaching and mentoring, preparing them for quality careers upon graduation.

Our hands-on, consultative approach mirrors real-world sales problems, competitions, quotas, and customer prospecting, giving students the skill set, knowledge and edge they need to thrive in a career in sales.

It's your job to identify top talent. It's our job to make it easy. Graduates from our Certificate in Consultative Sales program are uniquely prepared to save companies time and money, becoming a dynamic resource and producing results starting day one in their careers. Through our center, we help industry leaders find, support and grow the next generation of sales leaders.

Improve Recruiting ROI.
We do the early legwork—developing talent, vetting skills, and aligning values—so you can focus on hiring the right fit. Our candidates bring industry-ready sales training and career clarity, helping you reduce hiring costs, shorten ramp-up time, and increase retention.
Accelerate Ramp to Productivity

Our students graduate with two years' worth of simulated and real-world sales experience. From live role plays with business leaders to Salesforce CRM, outbound prospecting, and buyer discovery calls, they’re already fluent in the daily rhythms of a modern sales organization. The result: faster onboarding, higher confidence, and earlier quota attainment.

Hire for Fit, Not Just Finish
We help students find the right job—not just a job. Through intentional career exploration, industry exposure, and hands-on selling, students gain clarity about where they’ll thrive. That means you’re hiring individuals who are not only prepared, but passionate about your role, culture, and industry—leading to stronger performance and longer tenure.
