Session Four means it's time for the annual Entrepreneurship Quest! Fondly referred to as "E-Ship," each yearns quest focuses on a different aspect of business ownership and management. This year will focus on sales.
The ES Eagles are split into seven "companies." Each group member has taken on the roles of CEO, COO, Lawyer, Accountant, and PR Director. Throughout the session, Eagles will explore methods for selling, not only products and services, but also a company's mission or story. We started the session with discussions about working in groups; each team created their own contract.
The first few weeks of the session will focus on using spreadsheets and determining the price of products. Eagles will think about how the cost of a product affects sales. We will then move into in-person sales techniques and marketing. Throughout the session, there will be team competitions to put the skills Eagles are learning to the test.
An exciting aspect of each E-Ship Quest is getting a chance to hear from local entrepreneurs. We have community members scheduled to come in to share their stories. ES Eagle Evan Klein also gave his annual presentation about the stock market earlier this week!
The session will wrap up with an exhibition-competition during which groups will all have the same products and try to outsell each other.
