Claire Cox

My name is Claire Cox and I am a Senior in Selling and Sales Management pursuing a double minor in Communications and Entrepreneurship. It is empowering to be a part of a prestigious and rigorous sales program at Purdue University which is what has encouraged me to become a leader as the Lead Sales Intern for the Purdue Center of Professional Selling and a member of the Sales Team. As an ambitious achiever, effective communicator, and strong relationship builder I am constantly searching for ways to enhance my sales skills, I am proud to have competed in the Steel City National Speed Selling competition against 100+ students and earned 2nd place. I hope to apply to these skills, accomplishments, and experiences in a full time position in sales following my graduation date in May of 2022.

Lizzy Montgomery

Hello! My name is Lizzy Montgomery. I am a senior in Animal Sciences and am originally from hoosier country down in Southern, IN. Thankfully the Ever-Great Purdue University offered everything I needed to pursue a career in the agriculture industry including the offering of an industrial selling certificate which landed me in Dr. Dale's Relationship Selling course. I was introduced to the Sales Team through this course and thought joining the team would be a great opportunity to challenge my ability to sell products outside of the agriculture industry. As a senior, my goal is to use this experience to capitalize on the grit I have gained as a Boilermaker and to consummate the excellent education I have earned.  

Annabelle Redman

Hi, my name is Annabelle Redman, and I am a sophomore at Purdue University. I am studying Selling and Sales Management in the College of Health and Human Sciences. I am also taking a Biotechnology minor and leaning towards getting a certificate in Collaborative Leadership. I chose to be a part of the Purdue Sales Team to continually grow and improve my selling skills. Being a part of the team has allowed me to develop my approaches to sales, become more intellectual about the process, and ultimately, deepen my love for the art of selling. The sales team is composed of six members and being one of them allows me to collaborate with my peers and hear different perspectives about the sales process. I have already gained so much knowledge, and I cannot wait to compete and take advantage of opportunities that come my way.
