Is This the Right Opportunity For You?
Dale Carnegie franchisees come from business, sales, consulting, and leadership backgrounds. What they share is more important than where they came from.
You are likely a strong fit if you:
- Have a genuine passion for developing people and making a difference
- Bring strong business and sales experience, with an established professional network in your territory
- Want to run a business for yourself — but not by yourself
- Are ready to follow a proven system
- Have minimum liquid capital of $150,000 and a net worth of at least $500,000
This is not a passive investment. It is an owner-operated business backed by a world-class system. The right candidate is energized by that combination.
