This new partnership will facilitate Sandler\u2019s continuing work to promote the core values defined by their founder, David Sandler.<\/p>\n<p>The Influence Board provides sales professionals the ability to quickly secure pre-qualified, exploratory meetings with hard-to-access business leaders in return for meaningful donations to corporate approved charities.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe chose to partner with The Influence Board because their platform allows sales professionals to accelerate collaborative dialogue with target prospects in a way that benefits the community and starts the relationship on a positive note,\u201d said David Mattson, CEO of Sandler.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese facilitated interactions contribute to our organization\u2019s culture of continuing to evolve sales strategies to adapt to the modern buyer. Incorporating a social impact in the buying process is an evolution that is here to stay,\u201d Mattson said.<\/p>\n<p>Jay Allen, the CEO of The Influence Board, has founded numerous networks of influential business leaders over the past 20 years \u2013 all built on relationships of trust.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSecuring the initial meeting is often the most difficult part of the sales process. We worked with the hardest-to-access business leaders to come to agreement on the ideal way to get in their doors &#8211; the process that they would actively participate in and endorse.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSandler is a well-regarded organization and industry leader, so we are pleased to have them join us in encouraging purpose-driven sales processes \u2013 especially when those processes can significantly out-perform traditional sales engagement methods,\u201d Allen said.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_79_2 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-custom ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/sandler.com\/news\/sandler-partners-the-influence-board-facilitate-promote-purpose-driven-sales-engagement\/#About_Sandler\" >About Sandler<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/sandler.com\/news\/sandler-partners-the-influence-board-facilitate-promote-purpose-driven-sales-engagement\/#About_The_Influence_Board\" >About The Influence Board<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"About_Sandler\"><\/span><strong>About Sandler<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Sandler is the leading global sales professional development and performance improvement organization responsible for empowering over 50,000 sales professionals and leaders each year to master the craft of selling.
