How Sandler supports you throughout the process:
Held at the Sandler Corporate Headquarters in Owings Mills, Maryland five times per year, we use our Initial Training program to help get our franchisees off to a quick start.
Each franchisee is assigned a personal business coach. Your coach will have decades of experience in sales, leadership, training, and in many cases, were successful Sandler franchisees themselves. The coaches will help you personalize and internalize the Sandler concepts and business model so you can learn to practice what we preach.
Twice a year in Baltimore, we gather hundreds of Sandler trainers from around the world to share best practices, announce new products and services, and network with each other to build our businesses. Also, once a year in Orlando, we convene with our clients at the world-class Sandler Summit event.
Your franchise comes with a customizable website template and the marketing support you need to help you generate leads, close prospects, and retain your client base. The National Branding Campaign is a pooled resource for the national promotion of the Sandler brand, public relations, and strategic advertising initiatives. We provide sales and marketing materials, marketing boot camps, social media calendars, and other marketing content assets such as blogs, podcasts, webinars, videos, newsletters, and books.
Held bi-weekly on Mondays and Thursdays, the Sandler coaches lead a best practice discussion for the franchisees. Mondays are beginner-level topics, and Thursdays are advanced sessions. Both are designed to cover Sandler material as well as important business skills, strategies, and tactics.
Our Learning Management System (LMS), known as Sandler Online, houses thousands of additional assets to help you and your clients. Our trainer toolbox includes PowerPoints, Leader’s Guides, and worksheets for training sessions. You can view online courses, search resource libraries, create your talk tracks in a Virtual Playbook, and scour the archives from David Sandler himself as well as past internal conferences.

As I look back on my almost 20 years of business experience, my decision to buy a Sandler franchise is clearly the best decision I’ve made.
Starting your own business is absolutely daunting, but the support from the home office has been just terrific. They’re there for you, they’re friendly, and they get back to you when you leave a message. As I look back on my almost 20 years of business experience, my decision to buy a Sandler franchise is clearly the best decision I’ve made.
I got tired of Corporate America and the rat race. Sandler gave me the way to have my own business but have the safety of support.
One of the reasons I bought a franchise is because I got tired of Corporate America and the rat race. I wanted to have my own business, but I didn’t want to start from scratch. Sandler gave me the way to have my own business but have the safety of support. I’ve owned my franchise for 18 years now and it’s the best decision I’ve ever made.
My business investment in a Sandler franchise turned out to be a rewarding life experience.
