Company Profile

STI International was founded in Seattle in 1957, as Sales Training Inc., to provide sales training to individuals looking to begin a successful career in sales. Based on the success of the company and in response to changing market conditions, in June of 1981, a group of private stockholders bought the company to take the company to the next level and provide a foundation for future growth. As a part of this transition, the company changed its name to Sales Training Institute, Inc. "That period of time – the early '80's – was the biggest milestone in the continued success of the company," said Phyllis Elnes, President and CEO. "It set us on the course we've maintained for the last 25 years, and provided us with the platform for our growth. It enabled us to expand our programs outside of sales interview training to incorporate customer service training, relationship building, strategic sales consulting and other critical business development concepts. It opened the door for all our future success."
