Juno School of Business - Sales Director - EdTech

Juno School of Business - Sales Director (Edtech)

About Juno School of Business :

Juno is an online school that teaches sales techniques, processes, and tools to students and entry-level professionals in an experiential manner. Sales is one of the most important functions in any business. However, no (business) school or course teaches sales to students. Large number of fresh MBA graduates join sales role with absolutely no sales skills or understanding of what the role entails. Companies end up spending a lot of time and effort in training them; at the same time a large number of such employees realize that sales is not the right career path for them.

Juno pedagogy lays more emphasis on personal development and experiential learning techniques versus the traditional academic methodology. This is done through role plays, field assignments, projects / internships, shadowing (observing) experts, community feedback, etc.

Juno brings industry practitioners to facilitate these sessions and train students on the latest techniques being used in the industry. The course makes the students more employable and significantly increases the likelihood of success in their sales careers.
