"Being out of your comfort zone face to face with a sceptic buyer… Exploring the possibilities of a win-win… Being challenged with rejections… Closing the deal…ADRENALINE! Whatever career someone aspires: The ones who have the ability to sell a convincing story will be rewarded. The Internal Sales Competition helps to build this ability in a real-life setting!"

Dieter Debacker, Finalist Vlerick Sales Competition AY 2011-12

"Sales is a teachable art that only can be executed by passionate people ....and when done well, it puts them in the most crucial position within a company. I feel this passion reflected in the initiatives of the European Sales Competition."
