SUMMARY

The phone is a powerful business weapon. Whether it’s for contacting clients or making cold calls to potential employers/ customers, the phone is still the most effective selling tool. Like face-to-face selling, phone conversations allow you to build a connection, answer questions and solve problems instantly.

The great news is with a little practice and the right techniques you can learn all the skills, tips and tricks you need to communicate effectively over the phone and make your calls successful. Raimond Volpe has created a roadmap to help you master the phone and gain a competitive edge.

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT TO HEAR ABOUT

  • How to be confident and professional in all your phone calls and voicemail messages
  • How to build trust and a rapport over the phone
  • How to communicate a message that others will clearly understand and remember
  • How to make your prospect or client feel important over the phone
  • How to sell products and services over the phone
  • Tips, tricks and tools for cold calling
  • How to create a framework for your phone sales

Post Placement Support -Is it just a contact call or are we gathering real intelligence ?

Thursday 28 January 2021

12 noon AEDT (11.30am SA, 11.00am QLD, 10.30am NT and 9.00am WA)

Target Group

Frontline staff

Summary

Post Placement Support (PPS) is a great way of gathering intelligence that can drive a strong plan to ensure job seekers maximise their sustainable employment opportunity. This task should not be a “tick a box” exercise. It is a critical step to ensure we are identifying any red flags that exist in the early stages of employment and acting upon them accordingly. If performed correctly, PPS will be seen as a genuine value-add to your employer’s customer service experience and will provide a support mechanism for the new employee as they enter into a new environment.

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT

  • Be Prepared – Go in with a plan that is tailored to the employee
  • Transparency and Clarity – Is the Employer / Employee clear on the benefits of spending the time to answer these questions
  • Communication – How to identify concerns by listening to words and intonation
  • Action Plans – How to record and escalate information to the appropriate person

The Change Enabler – Tools for Overcoming Job Seeker Resistance

3.00pm AEDT (2.30pm SA, 2.00pm QLD, 1.30pm NT and 12 noon in WA)

Summary

We all experience resistance to change. It is our internal psychological reaction to change; and it occurs at a subconscious level. The good news is, we can modify how we respond to resistance, and this can lead to break throughs, like eliminating procrastination, being conscious of avoidance and most importantly, increasing your job seeker cooperation and enthusiasm. 

Clare will show you how.

 

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT to hear about

  • The nature and influences of change
  • Our brains and change and why our communication approach means everything
  • A framework for consistently crafting your change message and communicating with an individual
