Sandler Training has also helped our new hires become productive far more rapidly than what is considered the industry norm. Sandler's emphasis on questions skills and setting up-front contracts has helped our entire sales team be more focused, resulting in increased productivity. Most importantly, the Sandler Selling System has made the salespeople better advisors to Essilor's clients, the opticians and optometrists, on whom we rely to sell our products to their customers.
