Spring MASMI Sales Championship Winners Announced

SALISBURY, MD---Students recently vied for top honors during Salisbury University’s Mid-Atlantic Sales and Marketing Institute’s (MASMI’s) 14th biannual sales championship competition. The event included two contests, one for overall sales and one for elevator pitches.

Julia Sipes of Westminster, MD, received $1,000 for her first-place finish in the overall sales competition. Runners-up included Elaina Owens of Quantico, MD, in second place ($500); Haley Stone of Forest Hill, MD, in third ($300); and Henry Wood of Centreville, MD, in fourth ($200).

Kameron Schank of North East, MD, won the $100 prize for best resume.

Winners were decided by judges, buyers and observers representing MASMI sponsors and local businesses. The event followed an “etiquette dinner” for the students and corporate partners, also hosted by the institute and SU’s Franklin P. Perdue School of Business.

Pohanka of Salisbury (Commercial) was the product sponsor. The four finalists were tasked with selling to Daniel Fitzgerald, general manager. 

Some 23 additional MASMI sponsors sent their senior-level executives to take part in the event.
