You will be authorized to use the CPSP designation to identify your professional status on letterhead and business cards to enhance credibility with customers and heighten respect from peers. However, the most important reward is that your name will be placed into the prestigious Registry of Sales Professionals, which is internationally accessed via the Internet at salesregistry.org For many, the actual process of certification may be more worthwhile than the designation. The training recommended in the Accreditation Chart as well as the certification exam are based on the Sales Competency Model . While NASP does not endorse any particular sales philosophy, these competencies are recognized as core to professional selling. Regarding the actual examination, all applicants are required to demonstrate a comprehensive knowledge of the core sales competencies.
Examinations can be anywhere in the country.
Results of the exam are considered confidential. Candidates will receive a pass or fail notification in addition to a diagnostic report which highlights areas of both strengths and weaknesses. Once passing the test, there are no further costs in the future. NASP also absorbs the fee to enroll the new CPSP designee into the Registry of Sales Professionals. Upon assessment of the application by the NASP Certification Committee, a report will be issued indicating any areas which may require further documentation.
