    Company Overviews

    About Business Round Table

    Rick DesBrisay was a businessman in Moncton, New Brunswick, and a member of the Young Presidents' Organization (YPO), an international network of company presidents under 50 years of age. DesBrisay thought such an organization would be useful to Canadian small-business owners who weren't eligible for YPO membership (companies must have at least 50 employees and sales in the millions).

    Business Round Table started in Moncton in 1991. At present, there are more than 125 members. There are 11 Business Round Table groups in Moncton and it is now operating in the greater Halifax area with Paul Roy. Under the guidance of John Schrempf, Business Round Table is now operating in Barrie, ON. Ram Sundar is the latest franchisee in Etobicoke, ON. There are 2 groups in Nova Scotia so far. Membership is open to experienced entrepreneurs (those who have a financial interest in a business for 5 or more years and are involved in the management of it).

    Groups of 10 to 12 members meet once a month to discuss business problems and opportunities, then work together to solve problems and build more successful businesses. Franchisees in Canada and now in the United States act as facilitators and teachers for group members.

    About Sandler Training

    The demand for quality sales training has rarely been greater than it is today. Large U.S. corporations currently spend $7.6 billion a year on improving the skills of their salespeople. This makes salespeople the third most trained group of employees after executives and managers. And the majority of these firms must search outside for at least some of their sales training needs. Through Sandler, you can tap this vast market - and beyond. Ask yourself if these characteristics fit you:
    * I love to train and help other people grow. * I have a passion for sales. * I no longer fit the "corporate" mold.
    * I am a good team player and also enjoy my independence. * I am trainable. * I am willing to follow a proven system.
