I am really psyched about a new area of our site we just added.<\/p>\n

Become a member of one of the world\u2019s largest procurement associations today!<\/a><\/p>\n

It\u2019s called \u201cSPSM Certification Success Stories.\u201d And it features video slideshows based on audio interviews with individuals who have earned their SPSM Certifications.<\/p>\n

It is so rewarding to hear these folks share their experiences of how our purchasing certification helped them get great jobs, excellent performance evaluations, and massive raises. Those are exactly the type of results that I wanted to help people achieve when I founded Next Level Purchasing back in 2000. I am so grateful to have people willing to step up and share their secrets to success.<\/p>\n

If you have earned the SPSM Certification and have a success story that you\u2019d like to share, contact me. I\u2019d love to hear about it and considering including it as we grow the SPSM Certification Success Stories section.<\/p>\n
