As a CCN Pro, you can best put this to work for you by using all resources that are provided. The CCN Pro should proudly wear their name badge, display their certificate and/or plaque in the nursery and have their own nursery business cards printed with the CCN Pro logo. See CCN Pro Order Form; Study/Promotional Materials for more information.

The Employer

The employer reaps the benefits of the credentials of a CCN Pro by having personnel who will reflect competency, expertise and professionalism. Retail garden center customers want to have confidence that the information they are receiving is accurate. Knowing that the nursery they visit has CCN Pros on staff gives them the reason to return to your place of business.

The Public, The Industry

What proves to be beneficial for the gardening public can promote the industry in turn. When we impress the consumer with the kind of information that can personally help them or save them money, they are impressed with us and our industry. It's not easy to impress the public as they expect to receive much for their dollar. The CCN Pro is one of our industry's best assets. And we need to use our assets to our best advantage.
