I have worked in sales now for around fifteen years and by my own admission, for most of that time I was what you might describe as an "old school salesman"! I was reasonably successful, but spent a lot of time chasing customers, giving away my expertise and information whilst being treated poorly by potential customers and buyers.
I must admit when I started at Sandler I was very sceptical, and I couldn't get my head around many of the principles. It took a while for the information to trickle in, but I jumped in with both feet, and proved that you can teach an old dog new tricks!
My sales approach has completely changed, for the better I might add! I no longer chase customers, they come to me. My sales revenue has risen dramatically, along with my self esteem! My communication skills have improved greatly and I have learnt the importance of listening intently to my customers individual requirements. The skills gained at Sandler have also enriched my personal life and have opened my eyes to a completely new way of thinking.
In a nutshell I would wholeheartedly recommend this training to anyone, in any walk of life. My only regret is that I didn't discover Sandler when I first got into sales, who knows where I would be now..........?
Thanks again Mark!
