"Prior to beginning the Sandler Training with Jim Cornelius , our sales staff was like most others. We offered demonstrations, presentations and price quotations at the drop of a hat. We would wait in anticipation for the orders to come in and in a lot of cases they never did. Sometimes we weren’t even hearing back from the prospect. Sure we would get a sale from time to time. Certainly we had a good product to offer. What were we doing wrong?
After we began to work with Jim and the Sandler Training, we realized that we weren’t any different in the customer’s eyes then the first or last sales person to come through their door. Even worse we didn’t have a way to fully understand where we were in the sales process, or what the next step was going to be. The prospect had full control.
The Sandler Training that Jim provided helped us to better understand who our legitimate and most likely prospects were. We had better understanding of where we were in the sales process and how to move forward with the next step. In a nutshell The Sandler Training that Jim provided has made us more efficient and productive in our approach to selling."
