Second Wind Advisory Group Wins
“Rising Star” International Award
SOUTH SALEM, NY – November, 2007 – Second Wind Advisory Group, Inc. (Second Wind), a professional consulting firm that specializes in sales and sales management training, announced today that it has received the Rising Star international award by the Sandler Sales Institute.
Over two hundred franchises representing the U.S. and thirteen countries from around the world participated in the 2007 Rising Star award ceremony, which was held during the Sandler Institute yearly convention in Baltimore, MD. Second Wind was one of the “five” recipients of the prestigious award, which is recognized to those franchises within the Sandler Sales Institute that generate the highest amount of revenues within a 60-day period.
According to Rochelle Carrington, Second Wind’s President, “It is a special honor to receive this special award. I’m particularly pleased that Second Wind was the only franchise in the tri-state area to win the Rising Star. This prize exemplifies Second Wind’s commitment to execute on Sandler Institute’s mission and empower its clients with innovative and non-traditional sales strategies and tactics that enable them to achieve exceptional goals.”
Sandler TrainingSM 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 string up-front contracts has helped our entire sales team be more focused, resulting in increased productivity. Most importantly, the Sandler 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.
