Virtual Enterprise Teams Brings Home 1st Place Wins

The Virtual Enterprise class competed in the 2019 Southern Regional Conference and Exhibition, a compilation of business competitions and networking events for Virtual Enterprise students across the nation.  This year, there were 65 teams from 5 different states: South Carolina, North Carolina, Tennessee, Michigan and Illinois. VE members from New York and Florida were also represented. On Sunday, the team finished 1st in all three live competitions, the Elevator Pitch, HR Challenge and Marketing Challenge.  This is the first time one firm has swept 1st place in all three live competitions.  The following students were participants in these events and were tasked with presenting their sales pitch, HR policies and marketing strategies, respectively, to the judges:  Elevator Pitch - Alex Gomez;  HR Challenge - Anna Giebner and Ellison Flores;  Marketing Challenge - Celeste Ruiz and Ivey Bennett.  In addition, we finished 1st in Company Branding and 2nd in Sales Materials. This is the 2nd year in a row we have finished 1st in Company Branding.  Three of our students, Garrett Dill, Jake Cisson and Madison Kear, competed in the Intuit Innovation Challenge.  Fifty students from different schools were placed on teams of five to solve a real business issue.  They were given 3 hours to create a presentation on how they would solve the issue. Garrett’s team finished in 2nd place earning him a Google Home Smart TV Kit and Madison’s team finished 3rd earning her a Google Home Mini.  In the trade show held on Monday, the team sold (virtually) over $500,000 worth of donuts, by far the most revenue generated by a Greer High VE firm.  The sales team (Alex Gomez and Sarah Styles) worked tremendously hard in promoting our products and getting sales. Also, a big shout out goes to Mr. Schwartz for helping us with the construction of our trade show booth.  Our booth would not have been as appealing without his help.  The VE team would also like to thank the following sponsors:  The Gathering Place; Studio A; Hawke Trailers; Cisson Construction; Sanchez Concrete; and Upstate Design.
