In my 20 years in the radio advertising business, I've been exposed to many good and not so good sales training systems. Last fall we increased the size of our sales staff 70% and replaced a few key Account Executives. With almost a completely new staff, I was looking for the right system to build our sales culture on. We chose Sandler Sales because I believe it can have the greatest impact in the shortest amount of time. It's a real world, "non-salesy" system. Other systems rely heavily on theory, but Sandler Sales is about blocking and tackling, gaining control of the call, and ultimately getting the order.
