MT453 Assignment - Critical Reflection on Professional Selling

Assignment: Critical Reflection on Professional Selling

1. The idea for critical reflection is to encourage you to dig a bit more on a single topic and give it that personal reflection.

People are often asked to write about a topic; they then proceed to regurgitate from books or articles about the topic without really learning anything unless it actually relates to their own world.

For example, consider the topic of cultural communications. While you could write books on the differences between cultures and how they communicate, it would mean more to you personally if you were to write about a situation where you may need to communicate with someone, who due to their culture, gets very animated when they talk. This might come off to you as being loud and bossy. On the other hand, you might have a communication situation where someone simply agrees with you because they do not like to get into personal disagreements.

The following course outcome is assessed in this Assignment:
