To follow through on this mission, SMPS analyzed the practice of professional services marketing to articulate and confirm the body of knowledge and skills most critical to competency. The resulting knowledge areas and skill sets are classified under the six Domains of Practice for Professional Services Marketing. The six Domains of Practice form the foundation of the SMPS certification program. Click here to learn more about becoming a Certified Professional Services Marketer (CPSM).
