Corporate Partnerships
Partnering with the ISP opens a gateway to a multitude of benefits for corporations and the members of their sales teams.
Initially, getting the sales team educated and recognised as ethical sales professionals is a way to boost their reputation and credibility in the eyes of your customers. It has been proven to be the deciding factor in responses to tenders, pitches and at buyer decision time.
Partner status automatically gives your company's sales function access to up-to-date sales knowledge via our CPD platform. This can be curated for your teams needs, but more importantly builds a culture of accountability and a commitment to self development - something we know is critical for sustaining high performing teams.
Beyond this, partnering with the ISP helps you to create a positive and engaged sales culture as we give you access to the best ways to be inclusive and diverse, create qualification-based career paths that lead to lower risk recruitment, higher levels of talent retention and more successful succession planning.
Some of our corporate members
Sales as a global profession
Your membership is an investment in the sales profession itself. So far, membership funding has primarily enabled us to lobby for and develop the successful Sales Apprenticeship Program in the United Kingdom giving employers there access to millions of pounds worth of levy funded sales training and development, and a pipeline of sales talent. Similar initiatives are planned elsewhere in the world - including Australia and New Zealand.
We are working towards getting sales recognised as a chartered profession and we will continue to lobby government on issues that concern you and your team's success. Professional sales practice is critical to the global economy and with your support, as your professional body, we will make sure we continue to lobby for further funding, change in legislation, and greater recognition.
