Cygnal Group Consultants Earn Certified Sales Compensation Professional™ Designation
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. – The Cygnal Group, a sales compensation consulting firm with offices in Chapel Hill and Chicago, announced today that firm managing principal Donya Rose and consultant Marieke Pieterman have earned Certified Sales Compensation Professional (CSCP) status. Administered by WorldatWork, a global human resources organization, the certification recognizes compensation professionals who have demonstrated mastery in the field of sales compensation.
Developed after a thorough analysis of the body of knowledge applicable to sales compensation, the certification has been awarded to only 18 practitioners to date. To become certified, candidates must pass a 140-question competency-based exam designed to test understanding of the following topics:
- Strategic management of sales compensation
- Sales compensation plan design and administration
- Evaluation of compensation plan effectiveness
“Taking the time to be certified demonstrates commitment to the field as a profession,” said Donya Rose. “A community of practitioners can generate a richer and better developed approach to the subject than one smart person operating without that community. Becoming certified is an acknowledgement of the value of the community and its work. And, ideally, the process of preparing for certification should make one a more capable practitioner.”
