CTE Business Competition

When I was a junior in High School I took marketing. My marketing teacher put me in a group with two other classmates who eventually, became my teammates in the CTE competition. The competition lasted two days in which we were presented a company to create a marketing plan for. At the competition, my teammates and I spent a whole day researching the reasons the company’s sales may be declining and how they could increase sales. We then put together a marketing plan and presentation that we shared the next day. Sadly, we did not place in the top three. However, the competition taught me how to present myself in a professional manner. The experience also taught me how to manage time and how to analyze data.
