Julie Shaffer, CPSMOwner/Consultant/Graphic Designer | Shaffer Creative, LLC |
Why did you pursue CPSM certification? |
As an independent consultant, adding the CPSM designation increases my professional credibility. Peer pressure helps, too. |
Did you participate in a CPSM study group? If so, what did you gain? If not, how did you study? |
Although I did not participate in an official CPSM study group, I did study with fellow CPSM Pam Conine. We met weekly over several weeks to prepare for the exam and review the practice questions. |
What would you recommend to anyone considering taking the exam? |
Read the material. Take the practice exams. Repeat. |
Now that you’ve earned your CPSM, what is your next big personal or professional goal? |
To get my marketing intern fully trained so that I can focus on goals for growing my business. |
