Rancho Santa Fe, Calif., April 7, 2009 - ValueSelling Associates, the creator of the ValueSelling Framework^®, welcomes Charles Fodor and Lisa Mah-Chut to the ValueSelling team.

Before joining ValueSelling, Mah-Chut led sales teams across Asia Pacific for Gartner, the world's pre-eminent IT research and consulting firm.
