Marketing with a Certificate in Professional Selling


C.T. Bauer College of Business  >Department of Marketing and Entrepreneurship  >Marketing with a Certificate in Professional Selling

The Program for Excellence in Selling (PES) is the nation’s leading selling program PES is a certificate program that accepts students of all majors, allowing students who are selected for the program to continue studying in their majors while also broadening their presentation and selling skills. PES teaches students how to effectively sell products, services, and, most importantly, themselves and their ideas.

Students are awarded Professional Selling certificates upon completion of a sequence of sales and sales management courses as specified on the PES website. These courses may count toward degree requirements for Marketing majors, as advanced business electives for other majors within business, or toward a minor in sales.

Benefits of the program include a bi-annual sales career fair, job placement, and an alumni association. The sales career fair is planned, sold, and run by students in the program. Some of Houston’s most prestigious companies attend this function to hire the best-trained sales professionals in the industry. In addition, the alumni association for PES provides an ideal situation for sales students to network among themselves.
