Re: “Executive Briefings in the City for emerging Leaders”

Each month, we at Sandler run invitee only Executive Briefings in association with the London Chamber of Commerce. In these sessions, we explore the specific challenges that CEO’s and MD’s face when seeking to improve their bottom line.

We champion honest, no-nonsense consultative sales and management techniques that get results while preserving the individual team member’s self-respect.

Our philosophy embodies a comprehensive approach to selling, the mastery of a revolutionary technique and an entirely new attitude toward the sales and management processes.

Put simply, this interactive CEO,MD and Director led round table briefing will challenge conventional thinking, examine your current techniques and above all, establish in broad terms, what it takes to create a successful sales approach that ensures accountability from the bottom up.

For your convenience and ease of reference listed below is some feedback from our clients:

“We chose the Sandler System for its unconventional and highly effective approach to client centred selling.”
- Peter O’Neill Sales Director IBM

“Your superb sales and sales management training programmes continue to deliver the edge we need, and your training efforts continue to earn an astounding 93 percent approval rating! That’s why we’ve decided to bring the sales force of our new division under the Sander umbrella.”
- G Miller, Sr VP of Sales – Cap Gemini Ernst & Young

“However experienced one is, training is never a wasted pursuit and as either a refresher on lapsed disciplines or new techniques the Sandler sales and business development content is an excellent framework through which the odds of success can be significantly improved”
- Nigel Harwood, Head of Financial Services , Intel

“Twelve weeks ago my manager of corporate sales started the Sandler Selling System President’s Club. The change in her is remarkable. Not only has she learned and utilized new and innovative sales techniques, she has become a much more confident, positive individual. Her Tuesday morning meetings for the last 12 weeks have energized her. She has become a much more assertive salesperson, going after big accounts that are tough sales. And she’s getting the sale time after time.”
- Lisa Craig Vice President, Weight Watchers

Quite simply, at the Executive Briefing I attended, Luke Davies demonstrated that untold millions of man hours of sales experience has been distilled by Sandler into a methodology that will deliver results more quickly than any other route I have seen.
- Greg White, Director, Head of UK Finance Sector – Symantec Corp.

“..I would now find it difficult to consider any other sales methodology. I have personally attended numerous sales training courses in my 20 years of working within sales but can honestly say that this has been the best and most effective briefing I have attended by far.”
- Daniel King, General Manager, Hitwise UK

“Your executive briefing transformed our sales pipeline!”
- Max Jenvey, Managing Director, Oxygen Marketing

Last week I had the pleasure of talking to a group of emerging leaders about brands. Both organisational and individual brands.

I’ve spent almost 20 years at the forefront of some major brands from Dove through to BlackBerry in senior marketing roles.

I’ve finally taken some time out and like many in my peer group want to give something back.

I’ve been a trustee of an online charity for some years and am married to a charity fundraiser.

Who can I more meaningfully help Common Purpose?

Thanks Vijay

With regard to your query on our charitable status, I refer you to an extract of a letter from the Charity Commission from June 2008:

“Why is Common Purpose entitled to charitable status?
In answer to this question in order to be charitable in law, an organisation must be set up:
• for a purpose which is charitable in law; and
• for the benefit of the public generally
We also refer enquirers to Common Purpose’s charitable objects as they appear on the public register of charities.

How is common purpose accountable to the public?
As a registered charity with income of more than £5 million a year, Common Purpose is required to submit its accounts annually to the Commission and we publish these on our website so that the public can see them. Charities with income of more than £1 million a year are also required to submit a summary information return, which sets out key information about the charity’s aims, activities and achievements, and again we publish these on our website. We have provided enquirers with a link to Common Purpose’s entry on our register, where this information can be found.”

Is this when ‘leaders’ stick their noses in other peoples business ? Or does it entail using political correctness coupled with ‘sneer & smear’ tactics to bully & manipulate people?

Also I have noted with interest that you are a registered charity. How do you justify this?
