Overview of the CSP designation
- International Standard in Sales Excellence
- The Certified Sales Professional (CSP) designation is the sign of a committed, honest and knowledgeable consultative sales expert. An Internationally recognized standard in sales excellence, the Certified Sales Professional designation is how sales professionals can differentiate themselves from others.
- Tried and Tested
- CSP’s have been tried and tested in the consultative selling method; their goal is to help uncover the needs and issues of clients and assist in developing the optimum solution. The Certified Sales Professional program was developed by CPSA’s Sales Institute to be a career-long commitment to sales excellence and professionalism.
- Continuous Professional Development
- CSP’s are required to meet yearly professional development standards and personally commit to the Sales Institute’s Code of Ethics. Sales have become a respected profession of choice and the Sales Institute aims to maintain minimum standards and ongoing development of this next generation of professionals.
- End to End Development of Sales Professional with over 40 competencies
