Intellicentrics
Industry: Healthcare Security
Hear what Mike Sheehan, CEO of Intellicentrics had to say about Sandler Training powered by Acuity Systems. "We were in a really difficult situation where our biggest customer decided to take their business out to an electronic, web-based auction. We’ve all been there…you get reduced to the lowest price. Through [Acuity’s] coaching and consulting, their advice was to withdraw a competitive bid…and we did, despite how uncomfortable we were. That was five years ago, and as I stand before you today, we are still servicing that customer, and I give the entire basis of credit for keeping that customer for this long…to following the principles and teachings of Acuity Systems."

Hear what Tina Young, President of MarketWave had to say about Sandler Training powered by Acuity Systems. "About 4 years ago, we started working with Acuity...we talked a lot about the business and where I'm taking [it] and I really saw that [they] understood the right strategies to get me to the goals that I had...When I sat down, it wasn't just a lecture from one person that's training. I really learned a lot from the people in the room too, because Tom always encourages role-play and situational types of exercises."

Republic Manufacturing
Industry: Manufacturing
Hear what Raymond Brown, Sales Manager of Republic Manufacturing had to say about Sandler Training powered by Acuity Systems. "With Acuity and just the training in general, we now know that when we call someone, it's with the goal of creating a partnership and not just supplying someone.

Watchguard Video
Industry: Police Surveillance
Hear what Steve Coffman, President of Watchguard video had to say about Sandler Training powered by Acuity Systems. "I think most companies tend to think 'nobody does it like we do'...and one of the things I really like about Sandler is, and the classes help with this too, most people have the same kinds of issues, and the Sandler Training methodology addresses that broadly. In many cases, it draws you out of this excuse that 'it's a problem that's just unique to us.'. And then Sandler has ways to address that that've been very very effective."

Homevestors
Industry: Housing
Hear what Dave McIlrath of Homevestors had to say about Sandler Training powered by Acuity Systems. "I hadn't purchased a home in 5 months, and in my industry, that is a long time. So, coming to Sandler reminds me weekly of the 'basics'. I like to tell people that what I do on Mondays at President's Club at Sandler is the opposite of a used-car person's training, and it's really tapping into some of the core emotional needs that someone has."

Hear what Keith Walters, COO of Axiometrics had to say about Sandler Training, Powered by Acuity Systems, Inc.
"We've really bulked up our sales staff over the past few years, and in order to have a consistent approach to selling and methodology for expectations, the Sandler system has been able to create a foundation for us. The name of our company is Axiometrics, so we're about metrics. And that's one of the things I like about the Sandler approach is being able to create measurable activities that are predictive of what's going to happen in the future. That's what we sell, so it's good to be able to do it internally as well."

Staffelbach
Industry: Architectural Design
Hear what Jo Heinz, President and CEO of Staffelbach had to say about Acuity Systems, Inc. "We see that we are much more factual with what we're recording.

Sandler has helped us get to know [things] faster. They've been very helpful in...shortening that process to help us get to [a prospect's] 'need' quicker."
