the stage
is yours

90 min · every second week · St.Gallen

Selling is a universal skill. Interviews, pitches, negotiations: anywhere you need a yes. This is where you practise it.

Come to an Open Stage

01The idea

Selling isn’t only a job. You sell when you interview, pitch an idea, raise money for a startup or negotiate your salary.

Everyone will spend a career persuading people to say yes, but nothing on campus teaches the motion. Here you practise it out loud and take the stage before it really counts.

02Try it now

You get a prompt and 90 seconds. Say it out loud, wherever you are right now. That’s the feeling of an Open Stage.

03The session

90 minutes, every second week. Twenty minutes on one concept, then reps on it with feedback and a score. Nobody sits through a session without speaking.

Six formats

The 90-second pitch

Three attempts in one session, scored each time. Every semester there's a Benchmark night where you pitch again, so you can watch your number move.

04Who it’s for

Whatever you end up doing, you’ll need people to say yes. A career in sales is one path, not the only one.

  • Starting from zero

    Leave able to run a discovery conversation, handle “we already have someone” without freezing, and ask for money, then stay quiet.

  • Heading into interviews

    Sell yourself: your experience, your story and what you’re worth. Practise it before the interview that counts.

  • Already selling

    Rehearse against real objections before you use them on a real prospect.

  • Founders

    The problem is almost never the product. It’s explaining what it does instead of what it’s worth. That’s a sales problem.

  • Companies

    Bring a real product to a Company challenge. Members pitch it, and you meet the students who sell it best.

05Open Stage

One evening, no commitment, on something you already want. Open Stage is the front door to the core.

07Questions

I don’t want to go into sales. Is this for me?

Yes. The same skill gets you through interviews, pitches and negotiations, whatever career you choose.

Do I need sales experience?

No. Beginners start by playing the buyer. You see from the other side what convinces people, and you’re part of every round from your first evening.

How often should I come?

As often as you can. You get better through reps: every session you practise, get a score and do it again. Open Stage evenings are a one-off with no commitment.
