Welcome and framing (0–5 minutes). Open with a brief introduction of yourself and why you’re running the session for free. Run a quick poll — something like “Who here would rather do anything than make a cold call?” — to break the ice and get people typing in the chat early. Set expectations for the hour: what will be covered, what won’t, and when Q&A happens.

Telesales reality check (5–12 minutes). Explain what the job actually involves day to day, and the different shapes it takes: inbound versus outbound, B2B versus B2C, appointment setting versus full-cycle closing. Cover how commission structures typically work and what an entry-level rep can realistically expect to earn. Address the common myths head-on — that selling means manipulating people, that you need to be a natural extrovert, that cold calling is dead.

The anatomy of a call (12–20 minutes). Introduce the five-stage structure: open, qualify, present, handle objections, close. Walk through what each stage is for and how they connect. Make the key point that most beginners lose the call in the first stage and never get the chance to reach the fifth — which sets up the next segment.

The first 20 seconds (20–28 minutes). This is where the session earns its value. Cover pattern interrupts, permission-based openers, and the mechanics of tone, pace, and energy on the phone. Demonstrate live: read a weak opener, then a strong one, and let the contrast do the teaching. Give them a fill-in-the-blank opener template they can adapt to any product.

Discovery — questions over pitching (28–36 minutes). Explain the difference between open and closed questions and introduce the 70/30 listening rule. Share three discovery questions that work in almost any industry. Run a short exercise here: give participants a simple product and ask them to type one good discovery question in the chat, then read out a few of the best ones.

Objection handling (36–45 minutes). Teach a single repeatable framework — Acknowledge, Clarify, Respond, Redirect — and then apply it live to the four objections they will hear constantly: it’s too expensive, now isn’t a good time, just send me an email, and I’m not interested. Model each response out loud rather than only describing it.

Closing and follow-up (45–52 minutes). Cover how to recognise buying signals in someone’s language and tone, then demonstrate three low-pressure closes they can use without feeling like a stereotype. Finish with the point most beginners miss: the follow-up call converts better than the first one, and persistence is a system, not a personality trait.

Q&A and next steps (52–60 minutes). Take open questions from the chat. Close by confirming that everyone who attended will receive the free one-page call script, and share details of your full program or how people can work with you further.

If it’s useful, I can also rewrite the objectives section in prose so the whole page reads in a single consistent voice.

What the job actually is — inbound vs. outbound, B2B vs. B2C, appointment setting vs. closing. How commission really works and what a beginner can expect to earn. Kill the myths: you don’t need to be an extrovert, and cold calling isn’t dead.

Anatomy of a Call (12–20)
The five stages: open, qualify, present, handle objections, close. Key point — most beginners lose the call at stage one and never reach stage five.

Overview

Most graduates end up on a sales call sooner or later — in a call center, a startup, an agency, or their own business. Almost nobody is taught how to actually do it.

This free 60-minute session breaks down what really happens on a sales call: how to open so nobody hangs up, how to ask questions that uncover what someone actually needs, how to handle the objections you’ll hear every single day, and how to close without sounding pushy.

No experience needed. You’ll leave with a call structure you can use tomorrow, scripts you can adapt, and an honest picture of what a sales career pays.

For: University students, fresh graduates, and anyone eyeing their first sales role.
Format: Live online, 60 minutes, with live demo and Q&A.
Cost: Free. Limited seats — reserve below.

What You’ll Learn

• How telesales actually works — and what employers expect from a beginner
• A five-stage call structure that works for any product
• An opening that earns you the next 30 seconds
