Flagler College Student Wins Sales Award

Luke Larkin was recently recognized as the Southwestern Advantage “Rookie” Sales Award winner.  This award goes to the top first year sales intern within the organization.  Southwestern Family of Companies was established in 1855 and the sales and leadership program, now known as Southwestern Advantage, was founded in 1868. It is the oldest entrepreneurial and direct selling program for college and university students in the world. They hire over 1,100 students each summer to participate in their sales program.

Amy Groom, District Sales Leader with Southwestern Advantage said, “Luke was our #1 First Year Intern this past year where he profited over $46,000.  He utilized his sales training and natural ability to help make a difference in the lives of many students. We are excited for him to return this summer.”  Luke said, “The opportunities and training Southwestern Advantage provided set me up for success.  It starts with the sales school, but the training and support continued throughout the summer.  I am looking forward to this summer in Wisconsin and continuing the leadership training offered by Southwestern.”

Luke is currently studying Economics with a minor in Finance and Business Administration at Flagler College and plans to graduate in the Spring of 2025.  He also participates on the cross-country team.
