NSSC 2021 - Virtual Speed Selling Competition
March 26th (Friday) and March 27th (Saturday)
Instructions for Competitors
All participants (role play competitors and alternates) will create and deliver a 60-second pitch to
business executives during the Career Fair in the CareerEco platform Individual pitches should highlight personal achievements and abilities in a creative and memorable way and answer one of the following
questions - “Why am I the right person for the job?” or “Tell me about yourselves ”
The Speed-Selling Final Round will take place live in front of all virtual guests after the Role-Play Final Round (on 27th
March, Saturday) with the top 10 candidates
Each student will be randomly assigned to deliver their pitch to approximately 4-5 sponsors The overall speed-selling score for each student will be an average of the 4-5 scores they receive from their
assigned sponsors The overall speed-selling university team score will be the average scores for
all students competing from that particular university For example, if a student delivers 5 pitches and received scores of 85, 90, 100, 90, and 80 then their overall individual score would be 85+90+100+90+80
= 445 / 5 = 89 All scores are important, therefore please take a look at the speed-selling rubric to learn how the pitches will be scored and put your best foot forward with each sponsor
To ensure pitches are evenly spaced throughout the day, students will be assigned a period of time when they should deliver their pitch to a particular sponsors room during the following time periods:
Morning (8:00 am- 11:00 am), Early Afternoon (11:00 am – 2:00 pm), and Late Afternoon (2:00 pm – 4:00 pm) Students can show up to the dedicated speed-selling room for a specific sponsor at any time during the time period they were assigned

Room”
When you enter the room, you will be put in a virtual queue If there is a student who is making the pitch before you, you might have to wait a few minutes Please wait patiently for the student ahead of you to finish Once it is your turn, the sponsor representative will send you a message asking you to join the 1-on-1 chat You will have 45 seconds to accept that chat request If you don’t accept in 45 seconds, you will be placed at the end of the queue
