Do you want to sell more franchises? Of course, we all do! Join us for the first-ever franchise sales and franchise development continuing education program from Franchise Assembly in Canada! There aren't many programs that offer the latest and most efficient ways to sell a franchise. We've put together a comprehensive program to teach everything from the basics (the A-Z's) to the latest sales techniques and trends that even the most seasoned experts want to know! If you heard the hype about the one in Dallas, you won't want to miss this one!

We can all agree that franchise sales is ever-changing! Staying current with the latest in your field is essential. Common question we hear... "What is everyone else doing to get more leads? Is there anything new we can try to attract better-quality candidates? Where do I event start to understand the latest technology - like AI and ChatGPT?"

We get it. To that end, we wanted to create something that went beyond the usual panels of experts and develop an instructional platform. It was such a hit in Dallas earlier this year, we decided to bring it to Canada.

Learn what's working in the industry from experts and your peers. Our instructors will apply practical learning solutions and hands-on training so you walk away with actionable tools and resources that you can apply right away. The bonus is you'll also get to network with other professionals in the development space, share knowledge, and gain valuable insights to help take your efforts to the next level. Let's Grow!
