Technical sales staff need professional credentials to demonstrate not only that they possess the key skills to meet performance quotas and appropriately communicate with clients, but also the technical expertise and knowledge to help customers select the right technologies and solutions to address their current business needs and future enterprise requirements.
HP currently offers more than a dozen certification exams for sales professionals, including front line product sales as well as technical service sales personnel. Each exam allows IT sales personnel to validate their knowledge and skills with a particular group of HP technologies or solutions. Areas of documented expertise covered by just some of HP’s certification exams include: workstations, desktops, notebooks, personal systems, virtualization, and digital signage solutions.
