CHANGING THE WAY THE WORLD SEES PROFESSIONAL SALES

Since our beginnings in 2007, the non-profit Sales Education Foundation has promoted the benefits of university sales education both in academia and the corporate world – ultimately changing the world’s view of the term “sales.” SEF planted the seed of providing sales education to multiple colleges and universities and has become a “primary search engine for all things Professional Sales education.”

SEF provides support for the establishment and growth of sales education at the university level by funding sales research grants, providing our Career Development Program, funding multiple sales-specific workshops, conferences and special interest groups and creating a platform for exchanging ideas and best practices.

Through the publication of our “Top Universities for Professional Sales Education” listing, featured in our SEF ANNUAL we have given sales programs a place to promote their offerings worldwide. The SEF Annual is the only publication dedicated to promoting university Sales education.
