Experience

Prior to establishing Sandler Sales Institute in the North West, Mark Pickles was Sales Director for a London based events company. Originally though he comes from the pharmaceutical industry, where he spent 12 years selling everything from wholesale "generics" right through to "big pharma", and working in a diverse range of markets, including generic retail, primary care,  secondary care and primary care trusts. During this time he also enjoyed 10 years of sales training and coaching, working with all levels of experience and ability, from complete beginners to veteran sales professionals.

Most professional business and salespeople agree that the right type of training is an invaluable element for continued success. Finding what's right for you can be challenging, and often frustrating when you only find out after the event, that it wasn't right for you! Our sales experience spanning over 25 years, enables us to understand your specific needs and translate these into meaningful training and coaching programmes.

Our team are hands on experienced facilitators who have learnt their skills not from text books, but in the real world, through many years of selling and developing business.
