"OUR FOCUS IS YOUR BUSINESS...since 1999"

 

See What Our Clients Say...

"Before our organization employed the services of Sandler our team had a hard time bringing the deal to a close. A lot of proposals out and the project would get stalled. We also had a lot of turnover in the sales organization because there were not any systems in place to determine the best hiring practices. Hires were done on “gut feeling” and not a well thought out recruiting, interviewing and on boarding process. By employing a total recruiting and development system we have seen retention go from 10% to over 80% over 5 year period. Sales have gone from $1 million a year to over 7 million per year."

- Pete H., Sales Manager - Healthcare Industry
