Welcome United Professional Sales Association!
Members of the Sales Profession,
On behalf of the American Society for Training &
Development (ASTD), it is my pleasure to announce that the
United Professional Selling Association (UPSA) is now a part
of ASTD. This acquisition was effective on July 16, 2009.
For the last six years, UPSA has provided content
opportunities for sales professionals to share information
and expertise with each other. To continue and enhance these
activities, the UPSA board of directors and membership has
decided to transfer UPSA’s assets and operations to ASTD to
further provide relevant content and critical research to
sales managers, sales trainers, and sales professionals. For
the last two years, ASTD has been conducting research for a
groundbreaking competency study for the sales field. The
results of this effort released in June in the publication,
World-Class Selling:
New Sales Competencies.
ASTD is committed to the continued support and focus on
training and development for the sales profession. As UPSA
members transition to ASTD, they will have access to
important content covering the areas of learning and
development and sales training.
We look forward to welcoming UPSA members to the ASTD
community, and helping sales team members develop the skills
they need for sales success to help their organizations grow
and succeed.
Sales Training Drivers is an ASTD brand.

Tony Bingham
ASTD President and CEO
