World Class Marketing

Marketing is essential to promote the Dale Carnegie name and the benefits of your programs. Without marketing, clients might never think about attending your programs or engaging you to train their employees because they won’t recognize the Dale Carnegie name or the benefits of your programs. 


At Dale Carnegie, our brand is very important to us. We want all of our franchise partners and their employees to embrace the brand and what it represents.


We support you with corporate marketing activities and advice to help drive awareness of the brand, generate qualified leads and ultimately sales. Your responsibility as a franchisee is to supplement corporate marketing efforts with local marketing that aligns with our brand and helps increase awareness, leads and sales.


The Dale Carnegie marketing team provides support to franchisees in a variety of ways. This includes supporting franchisees with website updates, content marketing, social media and blogs, SEO, graphic design, thought leadership and new franchise support.  We support lead generation and brand awareness through the following approaches.

A Tailored Approach

Dale Carnegie offers a highly customized approach to training and support, based on market needs in your area and your own experience running a business. From recruiting and retaining sales staff, to budgeting and building a strong pipeline, all the way to succession planning, we collaborate with franchise partners through every stage of the business lifecycle. Each franchise partner can expect consistent support from the corporate office. As part of this support, the following services have been developed to assist you in all aspects of operating your Dale Carnegie franchise.

Sales and Trainer Development

When you begin to hire new staff, you’ll need to ensure that they are trained and up-to-speed on everything they’ll be responsible for in your business. Dale Carnegie Training makes the process of training new staff easier by providing Sales and Trainer Talent development programs for franchisees to utilize. Your staff can take part in these programs to learn their roles and responsibilities as well as the skills necessary to succeed in client centered consulting and training.

Ongoing Support

The development of your sales staff is an investment in the success of your company. We have created time-spaced, live online training programs that include coaching, collaboration, and cohort-based assignments in order to help you ramp up and retain sales talent. The programs are delivered on a regularly scheduled basis in English, Mandarin, Spanish, Portuguese, and French.
