This is not your father’s Sales Certification. Real feedback from HPE partners on the FY17 Sale Cert
Contributing Author: John Woodrow
Sales certifications of old can evoke memories of endless product specs and acronym soup.
That’s why over the past few years, we’ve made a concerted effort to develop sales certifications designed to help partners discuss business outcomes and not just product specs.
For FY17, the HPE Sales Certified - IT Business Conversations [2017] certification we specifically designed it to focus how to engage decision makers in conversations about the critical role IT must play in making a business successful. The training is also positioned within the framework of hybrid infrastructure—a key HPE focus.
What you might not know is that we piloted the FY17 Sales Certification with HPE partners just like you. Actually, we do this for every new course and exam prior to releasing them. It’s part of our commitment to bring relevant, useful and high quality certifications and training to our partners.
Back in October 2016, we piloted the course and exam for the FY17 HPE sales certification. As a result we received great feedback. Here’s just some of the input:
Variety throughout
When you take the course one of the things you will notice is that we purposely inserted different types of learning checks throughout to help keep your attention.
Alignment with internal sales training
The team that develops learning and certification for partners was merged with the team that develops sales training in late 2015. As a result sales training for partners is more tightly aligned to sales training for HPE employees.
FY16 vs. FY17 HPE Sales Certification
We’ve shared previously how the FY16 HPE Sales Certification differs from the FY17 sales cert. More than 80% of the content is new and content that is a repeat is easily skipped.
Access to other resources
We worked to include access to whitepapers, websites and other resources throughout the FY17 HPE Sales Certification

The new HPE Sales Certified - IT Business Conversations [2017] certification helps Partners focus on becoming conversant in the language of the Hybrid Infrastructure computing model. The certification also supports partners’ sales pipeline growth by engaging in higher value conversations that focus on outcomes and not just products.
The training is designed especially for on-the-go HPE partner sales teams and split into 30-40 minute modules. A study guide is available for free as a download in the Resources section of the web-based training. The new FY17 Sales Certification- IT Business Conversations is available now and is part of the FY17 Partner Ready requirements for Silver, Gold or Platinum Partner organizations.
