RMU’s new Center for Sales Excellence


The Center for Sales Excellence is a new addition to Robert Morris University’s School of Business as of this year, 2019. Just a few steps away from the School of Business, the center is located on the first floor of Massey Hall, which is also home to the offices of RMU business professors and the RMU Colonial Theater. By the end of October 2019, the Center for Sales Excellence team expects to have a fully furnished area with the necessary technology to have mock sales events and role play sales conferences. The Grand Opening is expected to be held in January 2020.

The center will be the hub for the new sales certification process. The classes necessary to get a sales certification at Robert Morris University are Principles of Marketing, Managing and Selling the Brand, The Psychology of Sales, Consultative Sales, and Advanced Professional Selling. The Center for Sales Excellence is expected to have a sales accreditation by February 2020. This will make Robert Morris the only university in Western Pennsylvania to have this accreditation, allowing for students to take advantage of that while searching for jobs in the area.

Dr. Manna is the Director of The Center for Sales Excellence, where he has many duties to keep the center running. Some of his duties as director are to make sure the center reaches its full potential, attain the sales accreditation, and develop the sponsorship of competitions. One of their bigger events this semester will be a sales competition with U.S Steel, where students from multiple schools have a sales competition. More programming is in the works, and there will be many exciting events in the semesters to come. One of the most important goals of Director Dr. Manna is that the Center for Sales Excellence succeeds, and according to him “it 100% will”.
