UNIVERSITY DIRECTORIES ANNOUNCES PROFESSIONAL PARTNERSHIP WITH
NATIONAL SALES FRATERNITY
Chapel Hill, NC - Collegiate marketing company University Directories has recently established a professional partnership with Pi Sigma Epsilon (PSE), a national sales fraternity. This affiliation will serve as a new and important resource for University Directories, particularly in regards to its efforts in recruiting students nationwide for sales and marketing internships.
"This partnership is a no-brainer for University Directories. Pi Sigma Epsilon members are driven, enthusiastic, sales-oriented and doing all they can to further their pursuit of a career in sales. This, coupled with our 36 years of experience in providing real-world experience for college students, is a winning combination!" says John O'Brien, President of University Directories.
For Pi Sigma Epsilon, the affiliation provides their members with access to nationwide sales internships, as well as the opportunity to "sponsor" publications at the local chapter level.
"We are absolutely thrilled to be working with University Directories! The planner is a great project for our students as it applies their sales, marketing and management skills, and it raises money for the chapter. University Directories has a professional reputation for working well with the students and following through on their promises. We look forward to an exciting year together...and beyond!" says Ann Devine, Executive Director of Pi Sigma Epsilon.
Key highlights of this mutually-beneficial partnership include:
• Pi Sigma Epsilon's support in providing and increasing University Directories' nationwide exposure among its collegiate members and alumni.
• Assistance and professional guidance for PSE members in regards to the development and enhancement of selling and negotiation skills.
• Internship opportunities with University Directories for PSE members nationwide, as well as opportunities for local chapters to sponsor a student planner for their campuses.
• University Directories' attendance at the Pi Sigma Epsilon National Convention.
"UD's partnership with Pi Sigma Epsilon is excellent news! We are excited to be a part of such a large collegiate network, especially since our products and services are geared toward the local college community. We are most looking forward to the opportunity to meet PSE members as we travel to different campuses, to share various proven sales techniques and to present our summer sales internship as one way to gain incredible real-world business experience," says Amanda Selah, University Directories' Vice President of Sales.
