WHAT IS
THE
MEANING
OF
SELLING?
Selling is offering
to exchange something
of value for something else.
The something of value being
offered may be tangible or
intangible. The something
else, usually money, is most
often seen by the seller as
being of equal or greater
value than that being offered
for sale.

SELLING
•BEFORE Formulation
•DURING Application
•AFTER Evaluation & Control
•Market Segmentation and Get in
context with the University:
The first step should be analyze the
market, know more about the
University and its population.
To do this, we can use the “Plan de
Desarrollo Institucional” which is a
document generated by all the
Educational Institutions in which you
can aligned your purposes with what
they planned.
Also you can apply surveys.

who is the better/right person who you have to get
in contact with,(most of the times is the
Internationalization manager because is the one
interested in increase the internationalization levels
of the University) find her/his contact information
and get a meeting. You can send a letter to get
the meeting or just call.
• Develop a customized proposal for the University,
send it before the meeting and bring it printed to
the meeting day, this shows professionalism.
Remember to use the Proposal template NST sent
to you. You can find it in PODIO.
