Association Dedicated to the Advancement of Salespeople Across the Globe to
Provide Avenue for Focusing on Buyer's Rights
WASHINGTON, May 4 /PRNewswire/ -- The United Professional Sales
Association (UPSA) has declared May 24th "International Stop Selling Day"
to address the critical professional shortcomings of salespeople due to a
lack of customer focus, a standardized ethical code, and global adoption of
a buyer's bill of rights.
"We encourage all salespeople to pause and reflect on their
professional responsibilities on International Stop Selling Day. We
encourage our members, and implore non-members who consider themselves a
sales professional, to participate in this important event. Professionalism
requires a proactive approach to increasing professional competence. There
is a difference between being a sales person and being a sales
professional. We also believe that many salespeople do not receive adequate
sales training that focuses on critical competencies required to be
productive -- and we're doing something about it by providing real-time
access to top-notch sales trainers and thought leaders in a global forum to
advance the profession" says Brian Lambert, UPSA Founder and Chairman.
In concert with International Stop Selling Day, UPSA has teamed with
Microsoft Live Meeting to offer a free online event, created to provide
attendees from around the globe an opportunity to receive focused,
relevant, and timely training on key topics such as why salespeople fail,
what customers want from today's sales teams, improving personal selling
performance, as well as key account management strategies.
During this event, UPSA will unveil the Buyer's Bill of Rights and
release the latest version of the UPSA Ethical Code and Code of Conduct for
sales professionals. "These documents form the foundation of
professionalism as well as the cornerstone of the universal selling
framework freely available for all sales people from UPSA -- they have been
missing in sales from the dawn of time." Harald Agterhuis, UPSA --
Netherlands Chapter Leader.
