ABOUT US

ABOUT US

ON PAPER WE'RE A SALES AND MARKETING AGENCY. WHAT WE ACTUALLY DO IS BUILD PEOPLE.

Every business needs revenue, and revenue comes from conversations. So we recruit young people with more ambition than experience, train them properly, and put them in front of real customers — where the skill actually gets built.

Our clients get sales teams that outperform. Our team gets the education nobody handed them at school: how to communicate, how to lead, how to handle pressure, how to run a business. Both sides win, which is the only reason it works.

HOW IT STARTED

ONE OFFICE. NO SAFETY NET.

Barratt Kennett started Cheat Code with a simple frustration: the sales industry was full of people being thrown at in the deep with no training and no future. He'd been a professional fighter and knew what real coaching looked like — so he built a company that trained salespeople for high performance.

Five years on, that's grown to offices in the Gold Coast, Brisbane, Auckland, Tauranga, and Hamilton, and a team that is growing every day.

HUNGRY & HUMBLE

We hire for appetite and coachability, not a CV. Experience can be taught. Wanting it can't.

Promotions are criteria-based. Hit the standard and the role is yours — no waiting for a seat to open.

EDUCATION FIRST

Every day starts with training. Sharp teams sell more, so the education is the business model.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a day in the job look like?

One of the things that's common across all of our divisions is our focus on growth and education. So most days will begin with team training where we can get everyone's skills sharp and get them motivated and fired up for the day. Most of our operations are face-to-face sales, so the selling days will be out of the office either canvassing or sitting appointments with clients. We put a lot of focus on culture, so we try to not ever let people have the same day twice. You will usually have a teammate to work with to bounce off of throughout the day. Happy sales people tend make more sales so it works out better for everyone when we do this.

What will I be selling?

We normally decide that after the interview process is complete. This is determined by a few factors, including which aligns best with the goals of each candidate (for example some value growth potential over purely making high commissions, some want a bit of both, etc), and where we think you will perform best based on your strengths and level of sales experience. At present we currently have positions available in solar, lotteries, roof restoration, fundraising, remote closing and energy.

You guys do a great job of making the culture and opportunity

look awesome, but is it too good to be true?

Kind of yes, kind of no. Our whole thing is about providing high level people with the opportunity to unlock their potential, but that does require some degree of commitment, ambition and effort If you're someone who's looking for something cushy with lots of work/life balance where you aren't really challenged much, you will hate this job. But if you're competitive, you enjoy learning and levelling up, you are easily obsessed, and you can banter without getting your feelings hurt, this will be the best job you' ve ever had.

I've heard sales jobs don't normally pay bases, does Cheat Code

100% pay a base wage?

Yes, you get paid a daily base rate and get commissions on top. That said, some people do get paid more than others. That's because those people are better at making sales. That's the beauty of commissions. If you put the effort in outside of working hours to improve your sales skills (using the considerable training resources and mentors we provide), and you put the effort in during working hours; then you will make more money than the people who don't do those things. If that idea is not exciting to you, then this is probably not the right industry for you.
