What others say

We had 60 Experienced Sales Professionals, 25 Sales Leaders.

The feedback we got from the team was there was a lot of value.

The entire team were motivated, energised, pumped up and ready to face the new challenges.

Being a Trusted Advisor is our view of the business and how we all need to be, and know how to reflect that to our customers.

We thought it was time to give something back to the teams, and that’s why we got in Smarter Selling and Charmaine.

Tarun Changrani, GM Coregas Australia

The workshop was very practical and hands-on and lots of activities to help reinforce to the team how they could take the skills they were learning in the workshop back into the workforce.

Charmaine’s experience of over 25 years in selling, is really shown through being able to actually respond to questions no matter what they were, in a meaningful way.

They were all extremely excited and certainly the goal of walking away passionate and energetic about what they’re doing to listen to their customer was definitely deliver

The next day I can see the team taking more action, being on the phone and building deep positive relationships with their customers.

to find out how she can best tailor a program to suit our needs. The team of 18 were from across Australia and the training was to upskill as well as bring a universal methodology and common language. Many of the team had years and years of experience and they stepped forward to say it was the best training they had ever had.

She certainly brings a positive energy and makes it interesting, creating lots of mini workshop moments and group work as well as inserting material on NLP, Extended Disc and other modalities to do with how we think and build trust. Reading the room and changing it up – she kept our interest the whole time.

Overall, we see ourselves as Trusted Advisors so this approach aligned with our values - and importantly the team all emerged positive and confident with a clear plan and process. Thanks Charmaine!

With that we take nurturing and developing our team seriously. They are the coal face of our business. For over 6 years we have partnered with Charmaine from Smarter Selling who is a stand out trainer, facilitator and expert Sales, Leadership, Mindset and Communication expert.

Before the program: The thorough pre work (her team visiting our branches, engaging with our leaders about focus areas, outcomes and where to bring value) demonstrated the high care factor and attention to detail.
The program: she delivered 3 exceptional, productive, practical, relevant days across 3 states and 150 people.
Content: The carefully crafted tailored Aidacare program covered a range of key skills to our leaders, brand managers and teams.
Style: This was full participation! Over 50 team members in each state were full immersed, asking questions, getting into groups, work shopping and doing lots of fun role plays to put into practice the mornings lessons.
Charmaine’s obsession: is how people learn, she knows exactly how to get attention, keep it, get you open to a point, buy into it and then practice it. It was masterful.
Outcomes: you can tell by these things how the team react, they were keen to get ‘back into the room’ at the breaks, were lapping it all up, writing lots of notes, having fun and getting tons of value.
I would say it was outstanding.
And now we are on the Academy, which I saw 18 months ago and loved – a full suite of online tools, courses, podcasts, downloadable templates, interactive section – it’s a true masterpiece in enabling the leaders to extend on their learning and use it in their branches.
Overall, Charmaine and her team are kind down to earth people, very easy to deal with, always positive and looking for solutions, professional and certainly practice what they preach.
