How to Promote Yourself as a CPSP Credentialed Professional
Your CPSP demonstrates your expertise and increases your value to current — and future — employers. But, how can you promote your exceptional skill?
- Add your credential to your signature.
- Include your credential after your name in print and electronic correspondence, including — but not limited to — your resume, CV, business card, email signature and LinkedIn profile.
- Frame your certificate. You’ve worked hard to earn the CPSP. Frame and display your certificate in your office.
- Promote your credential through a press release using this description.
- Inform your current employer. Mention your credentialed status during your performance review or any other professional evaluations you have throughout the year. Use the following key talking points for reference:
- The CPSP credential is the only of its kind available to plan sponsors today.
- The CPSP course is extremely rigorous and covers a wide range of advanced topics.
- By completing the CPSP, you have gained a strong understanding of how to effectively evaluate, design, implement and manage an employer-sponsored retirement plan.
