Jamison Clouthier Visits Plymouth State | In Depth

Plymouth State University alum, Jamison Clouthier made his way back to Plymouth to give a great presentation about how he arrived at his successful position with HP (Hewlett Packard) today.
Jamison has a strong track record of success that can be directly linked back to his involvement in the Professional Sales Leadership Program that Plymouth offers. Jamison reflected back on his time at Plymouth and mentioned an important event that kickstarted his career, an event he referred to as "a job fair on steroids." Jamison was referring to the NCSC, which is the National Collegiate Sales Competition that takes place in Georgia every year. Although Jamison did not take first place in the competition, he did receive eleven job offers and ultimately decided to accept an offer from HP. The Plymouth State Sales Program gave Jamison this unique opportunity to represent Plymouth State, which he did exceptionally well.

More importantly than describing how the Plymouth State Sales Program prepared him for a career, Jamison discussed the essentials needed to succeed in a sales career after graduation, one of the most important being passion. When describing his transition from college to HP, Jamison told us that it was hard, and the career paths we choose may be hard as well so we need to have passion. "If it is to be, it is up to me," was a quote that Jamison used to stress the importance of having passion when pursuing your desired career. He then went on to say "if you want a job, you can go get it." Not only could you feel the passion that Jamison had for his career, you could feel the passion he had for giving back to the Plymouth State Sales Program.

Overall, Jamison had a very informative and inspirational presentation that would have any student excited about a career in sales. Needless to say, we will welcome Jamison at any time!
