Dear Prospective Member,

Thank you for visiting the site of The Society of Sales & Marketing, the only professional examining Society which awards certificates and diplomas in all the four areas of selling, namely – selling & sales management, marketing, retail management and international trade and services.

The Society was incorporated on 3rd July 1980 and celebrated its Silver Jubilee in 2005 in style at Imperial College, University of London.

The Society caters for not only those who work in the above fields but also those who are just interested in the art of selling.

It will also ensure that you exercise leadership to initiate and support issues relating to your field of speciality including your responsibility to uphold ethical standards.

Our members hold senior posts in industry, commerce, education and other fields of human endeavour.

We have branches throughout the world and hold an exciting convocation in London every year.
