The Sandler Sales Institute^® is pleased to announce its 2008 Golf Team.

Through intensive research and effort, we believe we have put together a great group of PGA winners. Woody Austin, John Rollins, Brian Bateman and Omar Uresti not only have had success on the PGA Tour, but they are people who understand our organization and will wear and represent our name well.

We conducted numerous interviews with Tour professionals. We chose these four based on tenure, past results and personality. We expect to see them for many hours on nationally televised broadcasts as they pursue excellence on the PGA Tour.

2008 Sandler Golf Team Member Woody Austin sinks 35-foot putt to win 2007 Merrill Lynch Shootout.

Austin experienced his best season in 2007 with a victory at the Stanford St. Jude Championship, a runner-up in the PGA Championship and earnings of more than $2.8 million. He also finished tied for second at the Buick Open, an event he won in 1995. Austin earned a Buick Riviera for the victory, a car he still owns today. He says it's in excellent shape with about 37,000 miles on it.

Rollins also enjoyed his best year in terms of earnings in 2007 with more than $2.4 million. He placed second twice, the first in a playoff at the Bob Hope Chrysler Classic and the other at the FBR Open. Rollins also posted a pair of fifth-place ties at the Arnold Palmer Invitational and the Buick Open. Rollins placed in the top 25 an impressive 13 times and made 23 cuts in 29 events.

Bateman will always remember 2007 as the year he won his first PGA Tour event. He opened the Buick Open with a 65 and never looked back. Bateman rolled in a 12-foot putt on the 72nd hole to claim victory. The pressure putt allowed him to avoid a four-man playoff. He also converted up and down pars on 16 and 17 to preserve the victory, which qualifies him for a trip to Augusta, Ga., and the 2008 Masters. He said he's dreamed of playing there since he was a kid.

Uresti was a member of the PGA Tour in 1995-2000 and 2004-06. He dominated the Nationwide Tour in 2007 with a victory at the Livermore Valley Wine Country Championship. He finished with six top 10 finishes and earned his PGA Tour card for 2008 by placing in the top 25 on the Nationwide Tour money list.

In the next several weeks, we will be releasing the Sandler Golf Team's schedule. Please refer to this guide if you would like to book them for an event or if you would like them to visit your training center. Additional costs apply.

Sandler Systems, Inc. Launches International Division

January 1, 2001

Stevenson, MD ...Sandler Systems, Inc. (SSI) has launched a new division, Sandler International, to expand its ability to offer sales and sales management training programs worldwide. Founded in 1983, SSI currently has approximately 160 franchisees throughout the US and Canada providing training services to a broad range of businesses, from small, privately held firms to Fortune 100 companies.

According to Edna Sandler, president and CEO of SSI, the move reflects the increasingly global nature of today's economy. "Our programs have been used with increasing success by clients around the world for several years now. We are seeing a demand for quality sales training that knows no borders, and we can provide programs that translate well internationally."

SSI has been providing training for international companies for ten years, and has training materials translated into Dutch, German, Spanish, Italian, and French. Clients who have been using the Sandler system include Cap Gemini Ernst & Young, Martin Marietta, Minolta Business Solutions, and Daimler-Chrysler Commercial Credit, to name a few.

Sandler International will offer Area Development franchises, primarily on a country or region-wide basis, in contrast to the US, where the individual franchise model will continue. According to Margaret Stevens Jacks, vice president, international development, who will head the new division, "We think an Area Development model is the best way to expand rapidly in the international arena and meet the growing demand for Sandler programs." Sandler International is currently in discussions with prospects in Western Europe, South America, and the Caribbean, and anticipates signing its first area development partner this summer.

Building on ten years of international experience, the division will also offer direct training to corporate clients. Sandler International currently provides training programs in Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Netherlands and the United Kingdom, Jacks said.

Sandler International shares offices with Sandler Systems, Inc. in Stevenson, MD, and has a web site at www.sandlerinternational.com.
