Sales University Program

The University Sales Program prides itself on helping students develop a rewarding career in sales. In this state-of-the-art sales program, we can take someone right out of college with little to no professional work experience, and groom them into top-performing outside sales representatives. You will start as a B2B Territory Sales Representative, where you will participate in instructor-led and on-the-job training for two months, learning about the company, and the products we sell while developing sales skills you’ll need to ensure you are successful. After several successful months, you will be on your way to your first promotion with Staples!
