Quick answer
Who provides telesales training in Canberra?
Telesales training in Canberra is provided by Jenny Cartwright, who trains teams onsite in the ACT or live on Zoom. A program can be a single 2 to 3 hour session or up to three full days, for sales teams, membership organisations and contact teams whose calls involve persuading. One-to-one coaching costs A$350 a session.
Which Canberra teams benefit from telesales training?
Canberra's economy is built around the public sector, but it is far from the only employer. National peak bodies, professional associations and member organisations are based here, along with consultancies, technology and defence contractors, universities and a busy small business community in Fyshwick, Mitchell and Braddon.
Many of the calls these organisations make involve selling or persuading, even when nobody calls it sales:
- Membership renewal and recruitment calls
- Selling conference registrations, sponsorships and exhibition space
- Booking meetings with decision makers for consultancies and suppliers
- Inbound calls where a caller needs guiding towards the right service or a decision
- Follow-up calls after an event, an enquiry or a proposal
Give people a simple structure for these calls and they stop feeling pushy and start feeling helpful. That shift in feeling is what gets them picking up the phone more often.
How do you persuade by phone without sounding pushy?
Jenny's training starts with rapport and good questions, because people are far more willing to say yes to a caller who understands them. Your team learns how to build rapport on the phone, which questions to ask on a sales call, how to handle objections calmly and how to ask for a decision in plain, respectful language.
YouHi Priya, it's Chris from the association. Your membership is due for renewal next month, and I wanted to check you're getting good value from it. Which part have you used most this year?
CustomerMostly the webinars, to be honest.
YouThat's good to hear. Next year's program has more of those, plus the regional events. Would it help if I processed the renewal now, so there's no gap in your access?
CustomerYes, let's do that.
Nothing in that call is aggressive. It gives a reason for calling, asks a question, listens and then suggests a next step.
Selling into Canberra from interstate
Canberra is also a destination for sales trips, and the phone is how the diary gets filled before you arrive. One of Jenny's workshop participants, Christine Rupp of Sovereign Inn, put the techniques to work ahead of a trip to the capital:
Your course content was excellent and relevant. A few weeks after the course I had a sales trip planned. Using the techniques I had learned in your course, I was able to head off to Canberra with a diary full of appointments with qualified prospects. My script now sits by the phone and I look it over before every call. Thanks again.
If your business visits Canberra a few times a year, appointment setting training helps you make every trip count, with meetings booked in advance rather than hoped for.
Experience with membership bodies and public sector teams

How does Jenny deliver training in Canberra?
Canberra is the closest capital to Jenny's Sydney base, so onsite training is straightforward to arrange. She comes to your office in Civic, Barton, Russell, Woden, Belconnen or wherever your team works, and tailors a program of in-house telesales training to the calls you make.
Prefer to stay at your desks? Jenny can deliver live online telesales training to your team alone, and because Canberra and Sydney share AEST and AEDT, there is no time difference to plan around. For individuals, one-to-one sales coaching with Jenny on Zoom is A$350 a session or A$1,200 for four.
Which parts of the ACT and region does Jenny cover?
Jenny trains teams across Canberra, including Civic and Braddon, the Parliamentary Triangle suburbs of Barton and Parkes, Kingston, Deakin and Russell, plus Woden, Belconnen, Bruce, Gungahlin and Tuggeranong. Industrial and trade businesses in Fyshwick, Mitchell and Hume are covered too.
Across the border, she can train teams in Queanbeyan, Bungendore, Yass and Goulburn, either onsite or on Zoom.
