The Sandler Sales System Boot Camp

Event by S&R Associates

The Sandler Sales System® Boot Camp
Boot Camps are one-day interactive, face-to-face training sessions, held in our training centers in New York City and White Plains, NY. Boot Camps are normally used to introduce salespeople new to the Sandler Selling System or "the basics" in an immersion-style program. Attendees then transition into President's Club classes for ongoing participatory reinforcement.
There will be one or two facilitators plus the class participants. People who attend are committed to becoming more effective in generating revenue.
