It is designed to support overall sales effectiveness, integrating both the technologies and sales strategies needed to enable better consultative selling, and ultimately your company's credibility with customers.

 Candidates are allowed to reference any materials they choose during the tests, but should be encouraged to study them prior to the exams. Recommended resources are listed below. All test questions will be multiple-choice, with only one correct answer per question.

Here’s what some of those who have already earned their M+CSP are saying:

What intrigued me about the test is that it was not focused on one subject. I like the fact you covered pneumatics, hydraulics, electrical and sales. I think in our industry that a lot of people do not cross over into all the categories; and the majority of people who are involved in hydraulics and pneumatics are not involved with electrical motors or electrical circuits. This test will help people in the industry to understand the road ahead of them and it is a good refresher for the seasoned sales force. I encourage anyone taking the test to do all of the pre-test.

Certification is a mark of excellence. It demonstrates that the certified individual has the knowledge to assure quality of products and services. Certification is an investment in your career and in the future of your employer.
