On 2/13/17, we had our CTE Expo. I stayed 2 other periods besides my usual periods. During the expo, we meet with freshmen and we were trying to persuade them to join the web design academy. I talked about my experience in the web design academy, showed them examples of websites, and explained what we do during sophomore, junior and senior year. This is important because we are getting people to join the web design academy and continue our legacy. Some freshmen were co-operating and some weren't. However, overall I was able to spark interest in those freshmen that I spoke with. The qualities a salesperson should have is being able to communicate, be approachable, listen, be initiative, and persuasive.
Talking to the freshman was like a scenario of the people in the CTE academies being salespeople and the freshmen were our target audience and/or clients. The preparation that should be made to deal with these situations is to be persistent in persuasion of them choosing the web design academy. It would be better if I were to practice my public speaking skills so I would know the exact words to say that give off a higher chance of them being persuaded. Also keeping in mind the qualities of a salesperson so you don't end up intimidating someone or have people run away from you and actually give you a chance to speak. The CTE Expo will continue to go well because there are already freshmen who have the mindset of going into this academy or not joining one and we can try to help persuade them to join one, preferably the web design academy.
