The National Agri-Marketing Association (NAMA) is announcing plans to launch a new competition for student members in conjunction with the 2019 Agri-Marketing Conference in Kansas City. The competition will take place on Tuesday, April 9.

The Student NAMA Sales Competition is an individual sales call skills challenge. With this competition, NAMA hopes to promote the sales profession as a viable career option for college graduates and furnish a venue for talented and qualified students to exhibit their selling skills.

“NAMA is continuously looking for innovative ways to benefit our professional and student members and we believe this will be a great addition to the student program,” said Jennifer Pickett, NAMA Executive Vice President/CEO. “We feel this competition will have broad appeal across ag companies and media, as well as with NAMA students.”

Sponsorship is vital when launching any new program. NAMA is pleased to announce GROWMARK, Inc. as the premier sponsor for this year’s competition. Additional sponsorships will also be available.

This program will be offered in addition to the annual Student Marketing Competition, which will continue as usual. More details will be available soon.
