Agency Sales, Nov 2006
EMT Engineering Sales, Inc., announced that Les Ginther, Steve Mausolf, Gary van der Walt, Greg James and Doug Quast have been awarded the Certified Sales Professional (CSP) designation. To become a CSP, each recipient was required to have over two years of sales experience and attend a three-day seminar. Following the seminar, each had to sit for the certification examination which involved a written exam and a 90-minute one-on-one evaluation by a certified examiner.
The CSP training program is a comprehensive study of key selling skills. The skills covered have proven to be in the areas that consistently distinguish top sales performers from others in their industry.
EMT Engineering, a MANA member since 1989, plans to have their entire sales staff certified by the end of 2006. For more information on EMT, visit their web site at www.emtengineering.com.
