PSAL $$ Sales Award Recognition Speech

This assignment will simulate the experience of being a successful salesperson with a long list of effective

relationships developed through your winning sales process, including after sales support. This

assignment will also help you to appreciate professional sales practice.

Review Chapter $1-3$ from the OER including watching the many videos. Imagine that you are a senior

salesperson for a world class organization of which you are very proud. You joined the organization as a

junior salesperson five years ago and you have done well, progressively improving each year. You have

consistently exceeded your financial targets and your customers appreciate you as demonstrated by

exceptional customer satisfaction reviews.

Last week you learned that you achieved the highest results of any salesperson in the firm that year.

Your manager just called to announce that you will be recognized as the leading sales team performer in

$2023$ at the upcoming national sales annual kickoff meeting.

You are expected to deliver a three$-$minute acceptance speech at the event which will be attended by

salespeople and representatives from all the other functions in the business $($finance$,$ operations, human

resource management, information technology$)$ as well as the company senior executives and a select

few customers.

You have decided that your speech should describe how you feel about your job, the keys to your success,

and that it should acknowledge and thank those who helped you achieve this great milestone.

Write a two paged single spaced draft version of your speech $(1,500$ word minimum$).$ Use your

imagination. Consider reviewing any part of the OER text, any of the Selling Power videos, or any other

resource to discover what might have been keys to your success. Upload your two$-$page single$-$spaced

speech as a $.$pdf file.

Be sure to reference the Canadian Professional Sales Association $($CPSA$).$ A brief one line acknowledging

about what they do for salespeople and what they did for you $($use your imagination$).$ You'll need to

check them out online.

$2.$ Speech acknowledges the customer$($s$)$ and others who supported you including the CPSA.
