A Conversation with Dr. Sewell

Our conversation with Dr. Sewell began with the question of what she likes most about her career.

What do you like most about your career?

“The thing I like most about my career is sharing my sales and marketing experience with my students. With over 25 years of teaching experience in the areas of marketing, management and economics, I have a broad knowledge of how each discipline works together. I also have over 40 years of sales and marketing experience to draw upon to apply what I am teaching in the classroom. I have continuously been in some form of sales and marketing since I was 15 years old and have also been teaching full-time for over 20 years at the college/university level during that time.”

Why did you choose your discipline?

“I have been in marketing and sales for over 40 years. When I was 15 years old I wanted to get a job to start saving money for a car so I started working in my family's sporting goods business. Since my father had started out working for his father as a small engine mechanic, that I where I started. At the end of the summer, our shop foreman came to me and asked how I liked working in the shop. I told him it was “ok” and he said “so you really didn't love it did you?” and I said “not really”. Then I asked him why he was asking. His response was “because you tore up about as much as you fixed back here…have you ever considered a career in sales?” The following week I moved to the front of the store and my father gave me a $30k budget and told me I would be in charge of the water ski and sporting goods department. From that point, I went to college and eventually was a real estate regional sales manager and a sales manager for my family's boat sales division and currently am currently a licensed real estate agent.”

What is an interesting fact that others may not know about you?

“I was a zombie in a low budget horror movie with my son. It was filmed in my hometown of Pittsburg, Texas and was actually sold in Wal-Mart and still shows up on the Chiller movie channel on TV.”
