Things are constantly evolving, constantly moving in the large-target commercial and governmental space. Having the right information and being able to adeptly act upon it is critical. Today's large corporations demand their BDPs have extensive-knowledge of enterprise buying and partnering processes. Unfortunately, the training is expensive, not widely available, and often inconsistent. The Society has developed a unique, world-class program that sets the standard for Enterprise Sales and Business Development.

SBDP is proud to have developed the distinct standard of professional competency for our profession. Our programs provide you with truly world-class training through our expert designation, the Certified Business Development Professional or CBDP.

“CBDP” communicates your expertise in, knowledge of, and experience with the best sales methodologies, enterprise analysis, and business intelligence acquisition training available. When CBDP follows your name, it says you are well trained, highly ethical, and an expert on enterprise market environments.

Society members have the opportunity to build upon their existing skills to become an expert of the highest caliber - the type of recognized, prominent leader that companies actively seek out - through the CBDP credentialing program. The CBDP designation recognizes the highest levels of professional excellence, and provides a benchmark for achievement within that overall body of knowledge.

From the caliber of our instructors to the content of the curriculum, you'll find the highest standard of overall excellence.
