Assignment Overview
I realize we have not done the sales overview, but rest assured this is intentional as I want to see responses before we go into that lecture.
Tasks for Original Posting:
In your original post, I want you to identify your best characteristics as a leader and as a future sports industry leader. Then I want you to determine which you think you would be more suitable at doing, Sales vs Marketing, and why? Also determine which one you think is more important and why? Note: you may feel you are better at one but the other is more important, as long as you explain yourself.
Tasks for Replying:
Once you’ve submitted your original posting, you will browse the postings by your classmates and comment on some of them that you find interesting, or that you disagree with. Do this for at least two classmates.

General Tips for Effective Original Posts and Replies
An original post is the initial post you write in response to the prompt(s) in the discussion instructions. An effective original post:
Addresses the requirements of the assignment.
Presents substantive evidence from reliable sources to support its points.
Stays on topic and is phrased clearly.
Takes into account the evaluation criteria and/or discussion rubric for the assignment.
Acknowledges and considers other points of view (when appropriate) in an objective, respectful manner.
Is made in a timely manner so that others have the opportunity to respond to it and there is sufficient time for more in-depth follow ups.
Sets the tone to initiate a dialogue by inviting responses. For example, you may ask for clarifications or additional information on concepts you are still unsure about or invite suggestions or other views.
An effective reply follows the same guidelines for original posts provided above. In addition, an effective reply:
Is substantive. Instead of only stating “Good job” or “I agree,” take the time to explain why you agree or why you think the student, who posted the original post, did a good job.
Refers to information from other posts in the discussion. By tying together information and viewpoints from other posts, you will help enrich the dialogue and foster your learning community.
Is not always made to the same person or small group.
