Vacancy
Please note: if you apply for this job, please put your CV and motivation letter in one file and upload it in the application form.
As a Accountmanager at FranklinCovey, you are responsible for thinking strategically with your own clients, and advising them according to FranklinCovey programs. You help organizations to achieve results for which different behavior is required. The aim is to build a longstanding relationship with organizations and be their partner in the fields of leadership, effectiveness, and culture.
You ask the right questions to establish the organization’s problem, ambition or challenge. This often relates to (work) effectiveness, strategy or HR. You write a proposal to advise which training programs and content meet the client’s wishes and present this accordingly. In addition, you expand your own client base by approaching leads, inviting them to events and telling them about recent market developments.
In order to serve the client in the best way, you should be well informed about the FranklinCovey content yourself; which is why you immerse yourself in this field. You can always ask your colleagues for help if you cannot answer client's questions related to the content.
You will work for the Benelux organization in the Sales department in the Netherlands or Belgium. In addition, you will work closely with Client Service Coordinators, as they take care of everything in the back office. You will also have regular contact with an Implementation Specialist. You will work with several clients at the same time.
If you are curious and enjoy helping clients develop their organizations, and find it a challenge to work on this independently, then this is a job for you.

Working at FranklinCovey
FranklinCovey helps organizations achieve results that require collective behavior change. The best-performing organizations get four things right—they:
- Develop exceptional leaders at every level;
- Instill habits of effectiveness in every individual;
- Build an inclusive, high-trust culture; and
- Use a common execution framework to pursue their most important goals.
Everything we do is designed to help our clients succeed in these four key areas. When organizations partner with us, their people change behavior— both individually and collectively—in ways that have a dramatic impact. Together, they solve their organization’s most pressing problems and achieve breakthrough results. Lasting behavior change begins from the inside out—with who you are and how you see things. This translates into how you engage and lead others. Our content, based on timeless principles of human effectiveness, is designed to help people change both their mindset and their behavior. We combine powerful content, a team of experts, a dynamic behavior change platform, and key metrics. Together these guide leaders and teams through impact journeys that deliver exceptional results again and again.
