How It All Started

In 1967, our company’s namesake, David Sandler, pioneered a revolutionary sales training program for businesses of every size. Today, our proven sales training program has made us a leader in sales and management training with hundreds of training centers throughout North America and across the globe.

While much has changed in the business world since then, Sandler Training has always kept pace. Now under the leadership of David Mattson, President/CEO, we continue to innovate and grow our clients and franchisees.

David Sandler was a true visionary who was far ahead of his time. Since his revolutionary methodology was founded on basic principles of the psychology of human behavior, it has stood the test of time.

The current proof of our ongoing success lies in the success of tens of thousands of our clients, whose lives and careers we continue to transform every year.

Using the foundation of the Sandler Selling System, we are continually creating new sales, sales management and leadership programs for small- and mid-sized companies as well as Fortune 500 organizations.

Our programs are so effective in part, because they're so adaptable, and can be customized for application to any industry or organizational structure.

Dave Mattson, our current CEO and President of Sandler Systems, Inc., worked closely with David Sandler in the early days of our organization and assumed leadership in 2007.

Under Mattson's leadership, the Sandler organization expanded domestically and internationally to over 250 offices in 27 countries around the world. He added numerous program offerings to Sandler’s training portfolio, including Enterprise Selling, Leadership, and Customer Service programs, along with Sandler Certification, the first measurable, skills-based sales certification in the industry.
