Coaching
Some view coaching only as a tool to correct underperformance. Today, however, it is widely used to support top producers. Coaching can provide sales professionals with focus unavailable from other forms of organisational support. Sandler trainers coach senior executives, managers and sales people. Our one-on-one interaction and feedback from an objective third party has helped sales professionals:
- Fine-tune their communication, decision-making and leadership skills
- Cultivate teamwork and inspire peak performance from team members
- Overcome procrastination, take action and accomplish more
- Fully realise personal and professional potential
- Achieve balance in various roles
- Develop new strategies for solving old problems
- Create positive change in themselves, their team members and their companies
If you are open to feedback and willing to create positive change, Sandler coaching can help reach your goals sooner.
A Nottinghamshire businessman rose through the ranks of his company to Managing Director - thanks to the inspiration of Winston Churchill.
Glenn Slater, now the a MD with K-Panels Ltd, a specialist company in sustainable building systems, admits promotion wasn't even on his agenda.
But within months of turning to sales guru Max Anderson of Sandler Training - who told him visualisation was the key to achieving his goals - he was taking on the top job.
The 37-year-old pinned a picture of the inspirational leader, who guided Britain to victory in the Second World War, in his hallway to act as inspiration.
Mr Slater, who was formerly business development manager with the company, said: "Going to Sandler Training undoubtedly led me to where I am now.
"Becoming MD at my age wasn't really on the agenda but Max made me believe it was possible.
"The training focuses a lot on goals and visualisation and I used an image of Winston Churchill to spur me on.
"I decided I wanted to step up into a position of leadership and who better as a role model than Winston Churchill?
"I stuck a picture of him up in my hallway so that I saw it every morning.
"The visualisation of my face on the poster with leader written above it put me in a different frame of mind.
"I must have been giving off the right signals at work because soon I was in discussions with the board and on my way to a becoming a MD."
Five months after joining the Sandler open Sales and Personal Development Programme , he was promoted to a Managing Director.
His mentor Max Anderson, 43, said: "Seeing Glenn achieve so much in such a short time is incredibly satisfying.
"It all started when we were having a bit of fun looking at goals and visualisation.
"I remember Glenn raised a smile with an image of Winston Churchill with his own head superimposed on the top of it under the caption: The Leader.
"He talked about what he was trying to achieve with his own boss and he was so impressed he was made an MD.
"It goes to show the power of what we do on any individual, although ultimately it is all about improving sales."
Mr Slater added: "I went to Sandler training to improve my sales which it did and becoming MD was an amazing bonus of the training.
"The training changes your mindset and the beliefs you previously held about selling.
"It really had a profound effect on me and it turned everything I thought I knew about selling on its head."
