Jenny Cartwright, Sales and Telemarketing trainer and guru

Jenny Cartwright was born in Birmingham, England in 1950. From the age of 12 she had a flair for languages and a desire to travel so school holidays were spent staying with French and German families in Europe. She also loved to play tennis competitively.

After leaving school at 18, she completed a full-time three year diploma in languages for business purposes. This qualified her to work at the United Nations as a tri-lingual secretary but Jenny had a desire to use her languages in a way that was more fun. She got her first job as a travel representative in the South of France looking after people on holiday. This led to the next 4 years working as a ski representative in Austria and France. It was here that she had the idea of creating her own extra fun activities and excursions for the customers and really enjoyed her success in selling these to them.

In 1978 she came to Australia just as tourism was really starting to develop. She started as sales rep for The Telford Hotel Chain and quickly advanced to Sales Manager and National Sales and Marketing Manager. In 1984 she was poached by Centralian Holidays and worked as their International Sales and Marketing Manger for 3 years travelling the world. In 1987 Jenny married and switched to a Sydney based job as Product Development Manager for Insight International Tours.

When her first child was born, she changed direction to telephone selling. From 1991 to 1997 , through direct mail and telemarketing campaigns, she successfully promoted Tom Hopkins and Anthony Robbins on four of their visits to Australia and also Zig Ziglar, James Rohn, Denis Waitley, Harvey Mackay, Michael Gerber and Jay Abraham. In 1995 she qualified as a trainer and has been conducting in-house sales and telesales training for companies ever since. In 1988 she gained ASM accreditation by National Speakers and qualified as a business and life coach with Coach-U. She was awarded National Salesperson of the Year by the Business SWAP organisation in 1993 and "Telemarketer of the Year" in 1995.

Jenny's desire to enable salespeople to become more successful inspired her to share her immense knowledge of "selling" in her new book "Don't Get Hung Up!" (How to Sell Products and Services by Phone). She will be doing more conference speaking this year, public seminars on telesales around the country, inhouse training and she'll be developing more training products for salespeople.

Jenny works and lives at home in Lane Cove with her two teenage boys, and husband Simon. She is currently the President of Pioneer Business SWAP members), a member of the ATA and the Chatswood Chamber of Commerce. Fitness is very important to her and she makes time to play competition tennis, work out at the gym 3 times a week, jog and ski.
