Since we are advocating sales standards and seeking to elevate the standards of the profession, we believe there is room for all salespeople and key stakeholders in their success. That's why our members receive all the member benefits for a very low membership fee. If for some reason your employer won't pay for it, your membership dues are tax deductible.
When you join UPSA, you are entitled to discounts to local events in your region as well as discounts off the UPSA Credentialing test. We encourage you to attend local events, join our group on linked in, and network with like-minded professionals.
All our memberships are "Headquarters" only memberships. If there is a local chapter near you, you may join it. Otherwise, it is suggested you join in the region/country of your primary selling territory. The money you invest goes towards advocating for sales professionals, supporting the universal selling framework, and infrastructure as well as other member benefits such as Selling Power Magazine subscription (for U.S. Members only)*. A portion of the membership is also applied toward administration costs (administration, membership services, etc) for the entire year including this website. All of this helps to facilitate local and regional diversity and specific needs, as well as build a community of like-minded sales professionals near you.
Most professionals spend at LEAST $500.00-$1,000.00 a year on continuing their professional status (think of IT professionals, project managers, marketing professionals, financial professionals, etc).
