Kaplan Real Estate Education today announced a partnership with
Dale Carnegie Training, an industry leader in professional training
and development solutions, to offer a behavioral training
certificate for real estate professionals.
“We are the first real estate education provider in the nation
to partner with Dale Carnegie to offer a course that gives real
estate professionals the behavioral tools they need to be
successful in their careers,” said Toby Schifsky, Executive
Director of Real Estate, Kaplan Professional.
The online course, “How to Win Friends and Influence People:
Secrets of Success,” will introduce students to all 30 Dale
Carnegie principles that include how to create lasting impressions,
how to build trusting relationships, and how to become a better
leader. The course includes a guidebook with exercises for applying
the principles to an agent’s individual circumstances.
“Real estate sales can be a very lucrative business, but as many
as three out of four people who enter this career are out within
five years,” said Schifsky. "While we help people complete the
licensing education, and in passing their exam, they may still lack
the behavioral skills needed to thrive. This partnership will
provide a product in the market that gives new agents the option to
enter the field holding both their license and a certificate from
Dale Carnegie, giving them the combined skills they need to
succeed.”
Dan Heffernan, Dale Carnegie Chief Growth Officer, agrees with
Schifsky. “The timeless, practical approaches outlined in our ‘Win
Friends and Influence People’ videos are an ideal tool for real
estate professionals to accelerate their career success,” he said.
“We’re excited to partner with Kaplan, the clear leader in high
quality education solutions for real estate professionals
nationwide.”
The course will be available beginning in January 2020 and will
initially be offered in a select number of states.
