SALT LAKE CITY--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 24, 2026-- FranklinCovey(NYSE: FC), a premiere,global leadership and organizational performance partner, announced today it has been selected as a Training Industry 2026 Top 20 Sales Training Company, yet again. It was recognized for its Helping Clients Succeed®: Strikingly Different Selling, which develops exceptional sales leaders, teams, and cultures that achieve extraordinary sales outcomes.

Training Industry , the leading research and information resource for corporate learning leaders, prepares the Training Industry Top 20 report on critical sectors of the corporate training marketplace to better inform professionals about the best and most innovative providers of training services and technologies. FranklinCovey was selected as a top sales training company for its:

• Scope and quality of program and service offerings for sales training
• Market presence, brand visibility, innovation, and impact
• Strength of client portfolio and customer relationships
• Business performance and growth trajectory

“FranklinCovey is setting the pace through innovation in AI-driven coaching, immersive solutions and analytics-based learning,” said Jalen Banks, market research analyst at Training Industry, Inc. ”By combining adaptive learning approaches, timely enablement and emerging technologies including AI, it’s equipping sales teams to keep up with shifting buyer expectations and a rapidly changing market.”

“We’re honored to again be named a Training Industry Top 20 Sales Training Company,” said Paul Walker, FranklinCovey CEO. “What makes this recognition meaningful is it reflects what our clients seek to build, which is a sales culture that repeatedly wins with clients. With Helping Clients Succeed as their common language and operating system, teams embed customer-first selling into everyday behaviors, from coaching and preparation to pursuit strategy. That shift endures long after the training, as leaders and sellers lead with trust, create distinctive value, and deliver results quarter after quarter.”

With Helping Clients Succeed: Strikingly Different Selling, sales leaders and teams are able to overcome challenges, such as unpredictable sales results, missed numbers, slow ramp-up time for new salespeople, previous sales training that hasn’t yielded long-term results, and sales leaders that aren’t equipped to successfully lead their team.

Sales leaders and teams go from being one of the crowd to consistently standing out as the superior choice. Salespeople learn to differentiate themselves based on what matters most to the customer—helping the customer succeed. The customer-centric approach provides sales professionals with the skills and capabilities needed to become trusted advisors throughout the sales cycle while consistently delivering predictable sales results.

Dale Merrill, FranklinCovey Global Sales Performance Practice Lead, said, “We partner with sales organizations to raise win rates, protect margins, and consistently win on value—not price. We help clients drive predictable growth by elevating sales leadership, compressing sales cycles, accelerating pipeline velocity, and aligning tightly with what buyers value most. The impact of Helping Clients Succeed: Strikingly Different Selling is clear, with adoption exceeding 70 percent and clients realizing significant ROI.”
