Skills in Sales do not necessarily come naturally to everyone; dedication and commitment to personal and professional growth is essential. That is why we decided to implement Sales skills’ framing, fostering and developing productive Youth Exchange, where youngsters from Europe and neighboring countries could come together, develop teamwork and their skills in Sales. The Youth Exchange set the following objectives and goals linking to the aims of the E+ programme: Created NFL environment and provided unique opportunity to the youth to gain and share international experience; to frame, develop and practice their skills in Sales; Promoted and developed key skills in Sales: persuasion, motivation, entrepreneurial, leadership, self sales, target orientation, presentation and oratory skills, self-discipline, time management, critical thinking, determination and perseverance, skills to work with a wide range of people, creativity, communication and negotiation skills, flexibility and adaptability, multitasking and ability to delegate responsibilities, ability to work hard separate and in a team, to evaluate different situations objectively, struggle with objections, motivate others and themselves through introducing and spreading the standards and methods of NFL; Promoted healthy lifestyle with the help of outdoor team building games and trust gaining activities; Fostered equality and raised awareness of common values of tolerance, empathy towards otherness and respect; Acquainted the participants with issues, needs, resources and other factors that influence our communities’ future; Inspired the participants to make positive educational changes in their communities; Developed the project’s sustainability notably through the establishment of a network of practice; Introduced and promoted the use of E+ and Youthpass, involving youth of different nationalities in one project and encouraging them to come up with follow-up projects and implement them as key persons from their organisations, enhancing new possibilities for young people with fewer opportunities. The Youth Exchange acted as a free space for an instrument of sales to be used by participants with various national backgrounds, fewer opportunities, making possible their social, personal, professional development. This project was fully adapted to the needs of the youth, developed number of important skills needed to be successful in sales; developed their skills, providing with practice, experience. The youth learned to struggle with objections, negotiate conflicts fairly as well to respect different opinions, not always matching their own ones. They had space for multicultural communication, improved the level of tolerance towards the others, different cultures; etc. According to their final evaluations, all the participants were very happy with the project’s efficient results, were inspired for new challenging projects, as well as for further steps in their personal and professional lives.
