​Over the past 21 years, Sales Talent Agency has helped over 1,500 companies hire top performing sales professionals throughout North America.

SESSION #3: MBTI Reimagined
Jeff MacKeigan, Professor and MBTI Certified Practitioner
Michael Ryan, Program Co-ordinator - Corporate Account Management
Centennial College
Could the use of the familiar Myers-Briggs tool help to address some of the challenges we face in sales education, specifically with international students? A lack of self-awareness, a gap in interpersonal skills, little exposure to interactive learning environments and an empathy/being of service gap are some of the barriers to success. We have integrated MBTI into our Solution Selling courses and have data and real student examples of the positive results.

SESSION #4: The Live Capstone Project
Mike Ford, Professor

Capstone projects are meant to be challenging, immersive and as close to "real life" as possible in order to give the students an opportunity to apply their program learning.

Every business uses some combination of tools to manage the sales process - the tech stack.
