Sales Foundations & Sales Mastery
"A sales rep who is well trained in the Sandler methodology is going to come across as the polar opposite of the stereotypical sales rep who generally comes off as pushy, self-centered, and overly aggressive,” says Ganesh. In his words, the goal of the rep is to be viewed as less of a salesperson, and more like a trusted advisor."

"Founded in 1967, Sandler Training has helped thousands of companies become more profitable by training sales professionals with a unique selling system of techniques and guiding principles that focuses on asking questions, talking less, educating more, and knowing when to walk away. In many ways, these ideals are fundamentally different from traditional sales techniques, but Sandler is obviously doing something right. Sandler Training is the world’s leader in sales development training programs ...  delivering an estimated 92,000 training hours per year."
