Does Crestcom training work?

Our participant learning portal helps track action plans and results. Supervisors also have access to review the progress of their associates.Â

Is the training conducted in-house for one company?
It can be. However, the most successful delivery is a public workshop, with managers from different companies working together – sharing their ideas and experiences.
What is Crestcom's target market?
While many large organizations use Crestcom training, our primary target market is small to medium-sized businesses. Companies with ten or more employees are considered a good prospect for Crestcom training.
Are Crestcom materials available in multiple languages?
Crestcom materials are currently available in a variety of languages, including English, French, German, Spanish, Dutch, Turkish, and Vietnamese.
Can I train in multiple locations?
Through Crestcom’s Multiple Area Sales (MAS) program, organizations can enroll their personnel in Crestcom training in any location worldwide. The MAS program benefits the franchisees because it allows them to generate revenue from sales made or training provided by other franchisees, in markets that may be thousands of miles away.
Do I need to rent an office?
Most Cretscom franchisees work from home, keeping start-up costs low. This franchise opportunity has little overhead and virtually no inventory.
What are the key skills and attributes needed to succeed as a Crestcom franchisee?
Successful franchisees often possess strong sales and networking abilities, a passion for leadership development, excellent communication skills, and a proactive approach to building their business.
Do I have to be a trainer or an HR specialist?
Most of our franchisees have a business or sales background rather than one in training. Our programs feature the work of subject matter experts who have dedicated their lives to developing books and programs that align with our core leadership competencies. With Crestcom, you are more of a facilitator of learning than a teacher. Our facilitation training and guides help prepare you for each session.
Do I need sales experience to be successful as a Crestcom franchise owner?
While previous sales experience is helpful, it is not necessary. We will provide the scripts, tools and training you need to be successful. Our boot camps, coaching sessions and marketing materials will help you promote your business and make sales. You just need to be willing to follow the process and be comfortable building relationships with C-Suite executives.
How do I decide if I would like to purchase a Crestcom Franchise?
Crestcom allows potential franchisees to participate in the company’s 2-Day Franchise Candidate Training program before Crestcom and the candidate make a final decision. This training program allows both parties to learn about each other before entering into a business agreement as it has to be the right fit.
What do I get when I purchase a Franchise?
Crestcom franchisees receive an initial supply of Crestcom training and marketing materials, a mentor/business coach, and comprehensive ongoing training and support. See the Support & Training page of the website for more information.
