Quick answer
How can Darwin teams get telesales training?
Telesales training for Darwin teams runs live on Zoom at times set for ACST, or onsite when Jenny Cartwright flies in on request. Darwin is 30 minutes behind Sydney for half the year, and 90 minutes behind while the eastern states are on daylight saving. Coaching costs A$350 a session.
Why does phone selling matter in Darwin and the Top End?
Darwin's economy runs on defence, gas and resources, government services, construction, tourism and the pastoral industry, and its customers are spread across vast distances. A supplier in Winnellie or Berrimah might look after clients in Katherine, Tennant Creek, Nhulunbuy and Alice Springs, as well as stations and work camps in between.
During the wet season some roads close and travel plans change, but the phone still works. Businesses that sell confidently on a call keep orders moving in every season, and staff who feel sure of themselves on the phone do not have to wait for the next road trip to make progress.
How does live Zoom training work for a Darwin team?
For most Territory teams, Zoom is the most practical way to train with Jenny. Sessions are private to your organisation, customised to your products and booked in Darwin time. Because the Northern Territory does not use daylight saving, a 9.00am Darwin start is 9.30am in Sydney for half the year and 10.30am during eastern daylight saving.
Shorter sessions often suit online training. A run of 2 to 3 hour sessions a week apart gives people time to try each technique on real calls before the next one, and staff in regional offices can log in to the same session as head office.
If you are a team of one, one-to-one sales coaching is available on Zoom for A$350 a session, or A$1,200 when you book four.
Can Jenny come to Darwin for onsite training?
Yes, on request. Jenny travels to every capital city, and an onsite program in Darwin is best planned as a longer block of one to three days, so the flight is worth it. Darwin programs are priced like any in-house training: typically A$3,000 to A$8,000, depending on group size, customisation and travel.
Long-distance onsite work is familiar to her. Beyond Australia, she has delivered a two day Competitive Selling program for Telikom PNG:
On behalf of the change management team and the course participants, I would like to thank you for providing the 2 day training, Competitive Selling. I believe the training has given the sales team some new innovative tools and concepts to be more proactive.
What do Darwin teams learn?
Each program is in-house telesales training customised for your market, whether you sell to contractors, station owners, tourism operators or other businesses. Topics can include:
- Finding prospects to call in a small market where every contact counts
- Cold calling and outbound telesales with an opening that earns attention
- Booking appointments around rosters, travel and the seasons
- Inbound enquiries that finish with an order instead of a promise to think about it
- Handling objections and closing by phone
- Overcoming call reluctance, especially for staff who default to email, and seeing why the telephone beats email
The payoff is a team that picks up the phone without hesitation and feels proud of the business it wins, even when the customer is a thousand kilometres away.
Options for remote and small Territory teams
When a trainer cannot be in the room, these options keep your team learning:
- Course licensing: license How to Triple Your Sales by Phone for A$3,000 and run it with your own staff, using the facilitator guide, participant workbook and videos
- Self-paced study through online telesales training, including Telesales Mastery for A$97 and the How to Triple Your Sales by Phone download for A$97
- Telesales script writing, with quotes from around A$600 and changes after delivery at no extra charge
Licensing suits employers who hire often and want every new starter trained the same way, without waiting for a trainer's next visit.
