CPSM Certification
Certified Professional Services Marketer (CPSM) Program
CPSM is more than just four letters behind a name – it’s a standard that elevates our profession.
With CPSM credentials behind your name, you demonstrate that you not only have industry experience, but have also mastered the SMPS Domains of Practice for Professional Services Marketing. As you continue to climb the ladder in your career, a CPSM designation helps you distinguish yourself as a proven leader.
When you apply for the CPSM program, you are taking the first step toward joining a group of professionals who have made a commitment to professional excellence, career advancement, and an ongoing pursuit of knowledge through the domains, that outline the day-to-day functions of professional service marketers and business developers.
Earning your CPSM designation proves proficiency in the domain’s knowledge areas and skill sets and sets the bar for professional expertise and excellence.
In this video, Frank Lippert, FSMPS, CPSM, talks about the value of his certification to his firm and his career.
