Strive for success.
We bring working sales professionals to the University of Guelph to teach what the classroom doesn't. Student-run since 2018, and open to every program.
Sales is a skill. Most degrees never teach it.
The Guelph Sales Students' Association is the only student-run sales organization at the University of Guelph. We run talks, workshops and competitions led by people who sell for a living, so you can practice before your first interview and not after.
GSSA is also the student home of Guelph's new sales minor. You don't need to be in the minor, or in business at all, to join.
-
Learn from people who sell
Industry Talks through the year, each run by a company's sales team with a live role-play breakout.
-
Compete
Pitch in front of real judges at the Guelph Sales Championship, or try out for our Competitions Team.

Meet employers early
Our partners come to hire. Members get coffee chats, networking nights and job postings first.
The year runs like a deal.
Our Industry Talks follow one full sales cycle, from the first conversation to keeping the client. Come to one or follow the whole thing.
Full calendar, 2026/27
Dates can shift. We post changes on Instagram first.
The 2026/27 team
Students from across the university who plan every event, find every speaker and run the club day to day.
Meet them at the start. Shape how they sell.
Students who meet an employer at an event are far more likely to apply. Partner with the student home of Guelph's sales minor and meet ours first.

Questions
Do I need to be a business student?
No. Any University of Guelph student can join. Sales shows up in every industry, and our members come from all kinds of programs.
I've never sold anything. Is that a problem?
That's who the club is for. Start with an Industry Talk. Each one teaches a single part of the sales process and lets you try it in a small group.
How do I find out about events?
Become a member and we'll email you before each one. We also post everything on Instagram and LinkedIn.
How can my company get involved?
Send speakers or judges, sponsor an event, or provide food and prizes. Email us and we'll set up a 20-minute call to find the right fit.
