Love School of Business students earned a bronze finish and multiple individual awards at a technology sales competition.
Students from the Chandler Family Professional Sales Center at the Martha and Spencer Love School of Business competed this spring at the Middle Tennessee State University National Technology Sales Competition, gaining experience in real-world sales scenarios.
The three-day competition challenged students to navigate realistic sales scenarios, from networking with potential employers to role-play exercises that reflect the stages of technology sales.
Competition highlights include:
- Bronze (3rd place) overall team finish
- 2nd place in role-play competition
- Tyler Mastrangelo ’28, Teamwork Award and Top Technology Student
- Max Houck ‘27, Teamwork Award
“The competition confirmed that sales is what I want to pursue,” said Max Houck ’27, a marketing major from Crofton, Md. “Every conversation felt like it was advancing my career, and I’ve already made connections that led to interviews and networking opportunities.”
Outside of the competition, students also made time for team bonding, including a visit to a local axe-throwing venue and rage room.
Students representing Elon included Gabriella Scales ‘27, Ashlee Brehio ‘26, Tyler Mastrangelo ‘28 and Max Houck ‘27.
The team was coached by Chris Nelson, associate professor of marketing and director of the Chandler Family Professional Sales Center, and Ann Fritchman, executive in residence, with additional support from alumni Dave Goltz and Gabi Drumm-Schwartz.
