Twin Cities Collegiate Championship
Mid-April, 2024
Note from the Director
The Center for Sales Leadership and Education (CSLE) would like to welcome you to the sixth annual Twin Cities Collegiate Sales Team Championship (TCCSTC) hosted by the University of Minnesota. We hope that our teams and student competitors enjoy this year's hybrid format as a chance to meet new students, build connections, practice their sales skills, and expand their professional networks. I want to begin by thanking the coaches of the participating universities who put their faith in us by attending this event each year.
Over the course of the TCCSTC, nearly 100 student-competitors will get the opportunity to experience a realistic call-in session, two independent pitches, and a one-of-a-kind group presentation before a panel of role play executives, totaling four rounds of competition in pursuit of the coveted Team Championship trophy. Students will also be invited to attend a highly interactive career expo with a variety of distinguished employers.
