NRMCA Launches State-Of-The-Art Sales Symposium

After almost two decades of faithful service to our members, the Certified Sales Professional Program (CCSP) is evolving toward its next generation. The current program includes four courses, each 3 to 4 days in length, in-person, instructor-led at various locations around the country. Each session enrolls an average of 25-30 learners per running.

Three primary factors influenced the design of NRMCA’s next generation of sales training, including:

• Unrelenting demand for sales skills and the value of sales training to our members
• Rapidly changing landscape, and modernization, of the sales profession
• Scalability of our current program model to reach more learners, in less time at lower cost 

In December NRMCA will debut its inaugural Sales Symposium in Salt Lake City. Participants will experience all stages of the sales cycle in small groups while also hearing from keynotes, guest speakers and leading voices in sales during a large plenary forum. This dynamic two-day event is easier on member schedules; faster to upskill in the modern practice of sales and offers higher enrollment and fuller networking opportunities (up to 250 learners at once), all while being cheaper (achievable at one quarter the cost of the current CCSP program). Registration opens on Monday, February 3.

NRMCA owes a debt of gratitude and a round of applause to Alan Sparkman for his tireless support and contributions as the lead faculty of the CCSP program and the hundreds of graduates he has inspired.
After May 2025, the current CCSP courses will no longer be offered. However, you can register here for courses in the final CCSP series held between February and May. If you, or someone on your team, is in the middle of pursuing a CCSP designation, we will work with you to complete the requirements through our new sales program.
