New for 2026: The Bryant AI Revenue Challenge
Sales is evolving. The best talent knows how to use AI to drive results.
The Bryant AI Revenue Challenge brings real-world business problems into the competition, asking student teams to apply AI to revenue, growth, and customer engagement challenges.
Traditional competition builds sales skills. The AI Challenge builds business problem-solvers.
Teams analyze complex scenarios, develop AI-enabled solutions, and present their recommendations to industry professionals.
Why it matters:
Companies aren’t just hiring salespeople—they’re hiring problem solvers who can think strategically and use technology to deliver impact.
This is about judgment, execution, and business results.

NISC has become a trusted competition for schools that want to challenge their students and companies that want direct access to emerging sales talent.
