The CM Self-Promotion Kit |
The power of CM certification is great, but only if you use it. A small investment in your own self-promotion may be just the edge you need to get that bonus or promotion for which you have been working.
As a new certificant you will receive a Self-Promotion Kit to help you get the most out of your CM Certification. If you choose not to complete the activities outlined in the kit you will miss out on opportunities to gain recognition for yourself and promote the CM. With each new CM the brand grows and gains recognition from employers, clients, colleagues, vendors and those who report to you.
The following items are included: |
| CM Certificate |
|
The certificate confirms that you have met all of the requirements of the CM certification. 2 copies are provided: 1 for your office wall and 1 for your files or home office.
Custom frames that feature the CM logo are available through Framing Success, a trusted ICPM business partner. Frames start at $60. Click here to learn more. |
| CM Lapel Pin |
The lapel pin is a visible sign of CM certification. It may be worn to meetings, conferences and other business functions to show that you are a Certified Manager. |
