Mar 5, "Can I Help You?"

The Worst Opening Line Ever - Customer Service Workshop

Few people today have to respond as quickly to changes in consumer demand as does the "salesperson.” What sold like wildfire yesterday may be dead stock tomorrow. Similarly, salesperson to customer sales techniques that may once have worked wonders in our fast-paced world now may lead to disastrous results, especially among sophisticated, street-wise consumers who have "heard it all" and "seen it all.”

Presented by Debra Templar, Debra is an expert trainer and speaker, who has lived and worked in Australia, New Zealand and the USA, focusing on building businesses for her and others. She is past National Business Development Manager for the Australian Retailers Association’s training division and since 2000 owner/director of Australian Retail Services, a Melbourne company that works predominantly within the retail/service/hospitality industries on such issues as sales and service skills.

Youth Radio to start in Airlie Beach

The Whitsunday PCYC is looking for energetic and creative young people between the age of 13 and 18 who’re interested in learning to work in radio.
Whitsunday PCYC Branch Manager, Sgt John Dickinson, said the club had obtained a Low-Power Open Narrowcast (LPON) FM radio licence to broadcast in the Airlie Beach/Jubilee Pocket area.
“We’re still in the very early planning stages and what we want to do now is to meet with young people interested in playing a key role in getting this radio station up and running.
“We need a name for the station, we need a station logo and we need feedback on what sort of programs young people in this area would like to hear on this new radio station.
“We’d also like to hear from young people interested in joining a training program to learn how to be radio announcers, producers and technicians,” Sgt Dickinson said.
“By becoming involved in this project young people will be able to contribute to their community as well as learning skills they can use in their future careers.
“The PCYC already has successful youth radios operating at Beenleigh – the most northerly town on the Gold Coast – and at Palm Island, off Townsville.
“It’ll be great to add another one here at Airlie Beach,” he added.
An information afternoon is being held on Monday, February 4th between 4 p.m. and 5.30 pm at the PCYC headquarters on Shute Harbour Road on the southern edge of Airlie Beach. Anyone interested in being a part of the Airlie Beach Youth Radio is welcome to attend.
