OVERVIEW
Being a judge at the Global Bilingual Sales Competition (GBSC) consists of evaluating undergraduate students in 15-minute simulated sales calls using the role playing technique. The student plays the role of a salesperson and sales professionals take on the role of the buyer. Each judge will evaluate between 4-6 students, the number depending on the round.
Some role plays are in English and others in Spanish, depending on the round. Judging is done by sales faculty, competition sponsor representatives, sales alumni and business/sales professionals from global organizations.
The role plays will be conducted in FIU’s Global Sales Lab, housing 12 rooms equipped with recording and playback capabilities. Judges watch the role plays live through video streaming in a room with 3-4 other judges.
As a judge, you will be part of a collaborative learning environment and a contributor to the development and education of these students. It’s a great way to give back. You will be providing feedback on how the student can improve his or her sales skills.
