This pathway teaches students the art of selling.  The first-level course, Sales I, focuses on the sales profession providing students the opportunity to explore careers in selling, personal branding, communication skills, customer service, buying behavior, technology, types of selling, product knowledge, and the selling process.  The second-level course, Sales II builds on this knowledge and focuses on students’ further development of their personal brand while continuing to provide opportunities for them to work on their communication and customer service skills.  Students will learn about pre- and post-sales activities and will use role plays to engage in the selling process and to learn how to think on their feet.  Both courses reinforce project-based learning, English language arts, and social studies.
