Quick answer

What does a sales keynote speaker bring to your conference?

A sales keynote speaker gives your audience practical selling ideas and the motivation to use them as soon as the event ends. Jenny Cartwright CSP, one of only 75 women in Australia with the Certified Speaking Professional designation, has more than 30 years in sales and has trained more than 95,000 people. She offers four topics as a keynote, workshop, masterclass or virtual keynote.

Why choose Jenny as your sales conference speaker in Australia?

Plenty of speakers can tell a room that selling matters. Jenny can show them how, because she has done it on the phone for decades. From 1991 to 1997 she used direct mail, email and telemarketing to achieve record sales promoting the Australian events of Anthony Robbins, Tom Hopkins, Zig Ziglar, Jim Rohn and Denis Waitley, making around 100 calls a day for six years.

The difference between Jenny and other speakers and trainers is that she has done telephone sales herself for more than 30 years to promote her own business. She knows what works and speaks from experience rather than from a book or a course, so your audience hears ideas that work on real calls, and believable ideas are the ones people use.

Jenny in action: speaking in Melbourne at an event with Sir Richard Branson

Jenny's keynote presentation at the 2010 Sales Super Conference I attended in Melbourne was both engaging and very informative. Her years of experience and knowledge was used to clearly demonstrate a number of approaches to increase your revenue by using the telephone. I'd strongly recommend Jenny as a sales speaker.

Jenny's four sales keynote topics

Every keynote is built so your people leave with something to use on their very next call. Choose the topic that fits your theme, and Jenny can shape the examples around your industry.

Sales success secrets

Many salespeople hold themselves back without realising it. This interactive, motivational session looks at the quiet habits that sabotage sales success, and how to turn them around.

Your audience takes away: a clear view of what may be costing them sales and simple changes to start the next morning, so they feel in control of their results again.

Sales calls mastery

An educational session on using the phone well at every stage of the sale: prospecting, selling and following up.

Your audience takes away: openings that earn attention, questions that get prospects talking and a follow-up routine that stops good leads going cold, so the phone becomes a tool they reach for rather than avoid.

Never give up!

Jenny's inspiring and engaging story of her journey as an entrepreneur over more than 30 years: the highs, the lows and the qualities you need to survive as a salesperson and business owner.

Your audience takes away: fresh resolve to push through rejection and slow months, and the reminder that persistence can be built. Ideal for opening or closing a conference.

Sales fitness for pros

This session challenges salespeople to question their own fitness for sales, and asks which qualities a great salesperson must cultivate to become a top achiever.

Your audience takes away: an honest check on their strengths and gaps, and the daily habits that set top achievers apart, so they leave with a plan as well as a good feeling.

What is Jenny's speaking style?

Interactive, warm and practical. Her sessions are described as inspiring, motivational, educational and interactive. Jenny involves the room early, uses humour to keep the energy up and gives people real words to write down.

Motivation fades within days if nobody knows what to do differently. As a telesales speaker, Jenny gives your audience both the belief that they can do better on the phone and the method to prove it.

Outstanding presenter at Professional Services Sales and Marketing Conference Sydney 2018. Really liked Jenny's very interactive presentation, how she got the audience's mood up right from the start and how she had great use of humor with lots of useful information. This was a positive, energetic and really practical presentation with great information on the importance of following up.

Frequently asked questions

Can Jenny tailor a keynote to our industry?

Yes. Jenny has trained sales teams in real estate, finance and lending, insurance, telecommunications, IT and software, pharmaceuticals, recruitment, tourism and fitness, so she can draw on examples that match your audience. Tell her about your industry and conference theme in a free 15 minute chat, and she will shape the stories and techniques so your people recognise their own calls.

Does Jenny speak at events outside Sydney?

Yes. Jenny is based in Lane Cove, Sydney, and travels to every capital city and surrounds for conferences, kick-offs and association events. She also works overseas when required. For audiences spread across several locations, a virtual keynote delivered live online is another option that keeps everyone in the same session.

What is a Certified Speaking Professional?

Certified Speaking Professional (CSP) is the highest designation for professional speakers in Australia, awarded by Professional Speakers Australia. Jenny earned it in 2017, ten years after becoming a Professional Member of the National Speakers Association of Australia in 2007. For organisers, it is an independent signal that you are booking an experienced professional.

Can a keynote be combined with training for our sales team?

Yes. A keynote lifts energy and belief across the whole audience, then in-house telesales training or one-to-one coaching turns that energy into new habits on the phone. Because Jenny delivers all three herself, the language and techniques stay consistent from the stage to the sales floor, and your team hears one clear message.

Can Jenny present a virtual keynote?

Yes. Jenny presents virtual keynotes live online for remote, hybrid and multi-site audiences, and she already delivers live online telesales training on Zoom. A virtual session keeps her interactive style, with questions to the audience and practical techniques, so people stay engaged even when they are watching from their desks.
