A Leader With A Long Track Record Of Success

David Mattson has over 30 years of experience and success with Sandler Training.
David Mattson started where many do with Sandler: the classroom. Despite being a self-professed introvert, he now speaks regularly in front of massive audiences and is a highly esteemed sales leader.
Starting as one of Sandler’s sales associates, Mattson soon began to drive sales in local training opportunities in Connecticut, impressing our Founder, David Sandler.
In 1988, David Sandler asked Mattson to develop new programmes to accelerate the success of Sandler’s franchises and increase retention.
After just two years, Mattson was asked to lead the expansion of direct sales operations and serve Sandler’s most important global accounts. He rapidly doubled revenues and transformed the organisation.
Within two years, Mattson became VP of Sales. Continuing to expand the brand, he developed massive corporate partnerships. Then, in 2001, he created an advanced digital library of training materials, which soon started to turn our highest profit and increased our revenues by 65%.
Since 2007, Mattson has launched several successful platforms and revolutionary products, chief among them being the Sandler Online LMS in 2010 and the Leadership for Organisational Excellence programme in 2018.
