Teneo Results, a North America-based sales performance training company, is excited to announce that they have elevated their 10+ year relationship with the Canadian Professional Sales Association (CPSA) to an accredited partnership, emphasizing their common focus on raising the bar for sales professionalism and making sales a respected career of choice. Teneo now offers the CPSA-accredited sales training program “Purposeful Sales Strategies” (PSS), an engaging and robust training program delivered through a two-day in-person session featuring customizable micro-learning tools and scenario-based role play, six months of group coaching calls, a practicum with selling scenarios, and sales playbook. Graduates of the PSS program are prepared to complete the CSA Professional Designation exam from the CPSA.
Teneo is also developing a new advanced-level sales training program to meet the requirements for CSP Designation, which will be ready to launch later this year.
Lisa Leitch, Teneo President andChief Sales Officer, says, “We are very excited about this new level of partnership. The CPSA’s new sales professional competency framework with designation pathways for every level of a salesperson’s career, provide more opportunities for sales professionals and their leaders to excel at sales performance, and to create a stronger sales profession that is respected by customers. Many of the corporate sales teams we work with have already embraced the standards of sales designations and excellence, as they see the direct correlation between attainment of the professional designation and higher performing sales teams who are increasing their sales results.” These clients include Bosch, JELD-WEN Windows & Doors, Alexandria Moulding andCanWel Building Materials, who have all invested in training and a pathway to CPSA designation for their sales force.
According to Peter Irwin, President and CEO of CPSA, “We’re pleased to be strengthening our relationship with Teneo Results and their team of expert trainers and coaches. Teneo gets into the trenches with sales professionals – customizing programs to make them applicable to their specific needs. Participants walk away being able to connect the dots between the sales skills they’ve learned and their customers’ success the very next day. Our independent stamp of approval is assurance that the PSS program provides a strong pathway to essential sales skills and professional competency.”
