Course introduction
Our one-day telesales training courses are just £385.00 + VAT each, with a maximum of 12 delegates per course. Most delegates attend both courses on consecutive days, and we offer a discounted price of just £595.00 + VAT for the two telesales training courses.
If you need to generate more leads, arrange more appointments or convert more leads into customers over the telephone, our cold calling training course is a must. Selling over the telephone is a challenging task. Learning the right sales techniques and strategies is vital if your business is to make the most of the opportunities that telesales provides.
Most decision makers will decide within the first 20 seconds of taking a cold call if they want to continue the conversation. This is known as the “critical window of opportunity” for a telemarketer. Engage your prospect or lead within the first few seconds and you have a chance of closing the deal; fail, and you have almost certainly lost the opportunity. And whilst it is vital to grab the attention of a decision maker from the outset, knowing how to build a relationship with the person on the other end of the phone is just as important.

This results in increased customer confidence and more opportunities to convert leads into customers.

Most people attend both courses over the two days to maximise the telesales training experience.
