LONG ISLAND, N.Y., March 30, 2009 – VirtualCDO and Sandler Training of Hauppauge, New York, announced today the launch of a joint marketing initiative. Under the agreement, the Sandler office and its staff will market VirtualCDO's Mergers & Acquisitions and Corporate Growth services to its executive level contacts. In turn, VirtualCDO will assist Sandler with marketing its sales and sales management training and consulting services to its contacts.
In addition to the marketing initiative, VirtualCDO's James R. Brennan will help grow Sandler’s business by becoming a member of its advisory board. Sandler's Richard Isaac will become a member of VirtualCDO's newly formed board of directors, helping to grow the board.
According to Brennan, "I think it is a perfect fit. I hope to bring VirtualCDO's expertise in the areas of Sell-side M&A, Buy-side M&A, and Corporate Development to Sandler’s large base of executives. And I'm sure many of our M&A clients will benefit from their services. In many cases, we are asked to assist our clients with some sales leadership functions prior to launching the sale of a company. Sandler’s team members are experts in this arena and can easily fill that client need."
According to Isaac, “We’re thrilled to be closely affiliated with Jim Brennan and his firm’s services. Our job is to help our clients grow effectively and profitably, and VirtualCDO’s expertise and experience will be an important factor in helping many of them to do so. Growth through merger and acquisition is an option that many smaller businesses wouldn’t consider because of their lack of expertise. Jim’s firm solves that issue, providing an exciting new set of strategic business options.”
