Minor
Add the Professional Sales minor to any Ferris degree to develop sales ability and strengthen interpersonal skills. This minor focuses on practical knowledge and application by participating in sales role-plays, running sales management simulations, integrating customer relationship management practices and software, and experiencing purchasing processes through enterprise resource systems. Students pursuing a sales career are prepared to step into a selling role immediately upon graduation. Those entering non-sales work are ready to use active listening, questioning, problem-solving, and value-focused learning in any chosen career.
