Selling on Value: Using the Purposeful Choreography as the Basis of an Innovative Sales Role Play
Dugan, Riley; Lee, Na Young
Marketing Education Review, v33 n2 p136-141 2023
Few academic disciplines make as frequent use of experiential learning exercises as marketing and sales. This is particularly true in selling courses, where a sales role play often serves as a culminating exercise in which students are tasked with building rapport with a buyer, uncovering buyer needs, overcoming objections, and closing a sale. However, we contend that this typical sales role play can be extended by tasking students with the need to perform independent research to speak convincingly about the concept of value. In response, we describe an innovative role play based on the purposeful choreography, which tasks students with presenting a compelling, and novel, business case to a buyer. Moreover, we highlight opportunities and challenges for sales professors who are interested in adopting this role play into their advanced selling courses.
