Graduates with third party certification are unified by the common body of knowledge. Participants have taken positive action to enhance their professional development, are committed to life-long learning and continual improvement of their companies. Customers, factories and distributors understand the value of certified vendors.

The fields of law, medicine and accounting are examples of other professions that use third party certification.

The CPMR designation identifies independent manufacturers representatives that exemplify the highest standard within the sales profession. The CPMR concept was begun by forward-thinking reps. And MRERF, the Manufacturers' Representatives Educational Research Foundation was created to bring the certification program to life. The result: improved independent manufacturers representatives.

The question then became, "What should agency owners/managers do regarding the sales professionalism and improvement of our field sales force?” The answer: Certified Sales Professional, otherwise known as CSP!

Salespeople attend CSP because they want to be one of the best in their market and their industry. They refer others to the program because it is a course that makes a significant impression on them.

Requirements to maintain certification, including continuing education and the annual Certification Fee, reflect the requirements of the International Association for Continuing Education and Training; and encourage life-long learning.
