At the end of November, 178 federally certified sales managers from the 2007 examination year received their diplomas in Interlaken. The Swiss Marketing (SMC), KV Schweiz and Verkauf Schweiz associations have been organizing the sales manager examination for over 20 years. This year, 248 candidates took the exam. Of these, 72 percent were successful and 28 percent did not pass. Around 25 percent of the graduates were women. 173 of the new sales managers came from German-speaking Switzerland, while French-speaking Switzerland was represented by five graduates. The overall average grade of 4.2 was in line with the average of recent years, according to Swiss Marketing. Jean-Paul Zürcher, President of the Examination Board, hosted the graduation ceremony. A certain Ms. Elvira Iseli, alias Birgit Steinegger, provided humorous interludes.
