Here’s What Others Are Saying About Our Training and Certification Program “Strategic Account Management is a superior course. I have attended many sales courses but the tools and delivery were so generic that I couldn’t apply them to my specific business. This course gave me the tools I need to succeed—great job!”

L. Engleson, CGGVeritas

“Not only did this program strengthen my areas of sales weakness, it helped to reaffirm the good habits I already formed.

Our group has kept in touch and the ability to communicate with sales professionals in other industries has been a great comfort.

My CSP designation has earned me recognition with my peers and customers.”

“The Professional Selling course is essential training to develop the building blocks for a successful sales career. Learn the material, integrate it into your daily routine and watch your sales career take off!”

L. Bonn, CSP, Pow Laboratories Inc.

M. Gomes, Traffic Tech Inc.

B. Dennis, Bill Dennis & Associates

“As a result of the Professional Selling program, I set up a meeting with one of my clients, applied the 8-step Consultative Selling approach and landed a $25,000 sale along with the opportunity to present our partnership program for next year.”

“As a seasoned sales professional, you sometimes believe you have heard or seen all the sales training there is. Professional Selling helped me identify my hidden bad habits and define a better sales process. I am excited to sell again.”

B. Corrin, Tenaquip Ltd.

L. Schonewille, Regional Sales Manager, McKesson APS

“Effective Negotiating Strategies was full of ready-to-use, practical information. A must have course for all professionals.”

“Achieving my CSP designation through the CPSA program has been invaluable as it relates to both my sales career and my personal life. I have applied the various principles and processes which substantially increased my sales productivity! I am more focused and goal-oriented. My ability to communicate and listen to my customer has improved.

L. Lang, CSP, Business Development Coordinator, Chamber of Commerce Brantford-Brant
