Graduation ceremony for sales specialists
Last Friday, 189 new sales specialists were presented with their federal certificates at Casino Luzern. The professional examination, which was held for the second time in this format, attracted 40 percent more graduates than last year.
Around 349 people took the exam; 189 or 54 percent passed. The average grade of the successful graduates was 4.4. Sonja Renggli from Finsterwald LU was the best of the year with an average grade of 5.1. Corinne Bieri from Hochdorf LU and Gabriel Gübeli from Wil SG achieved a good average grade of 5.0. With the 189 new sales specialists, the number of qualified sales specialists in Switzerland has risen to 4,478 - a healthy number that the economy can cope with, says Walter Zeller, who made his last appearance this year after years of commitment as examination director. Zeller is handing over the role to Nicole Beck, but will remain active in the area of quality assurance, as the Swiss Marketing Association announced on Monday.
