How can I improve my script?
I recently started my own telemarketing company. My first project is selling home fire alarm systems, over the phone. It's actually a great product but I'm having a hard time cold calling and actually getting good results.
It seems to me that most people on this forum (or on the internet) only discusses cold calling for things like, real estate, expensive home security system etc. And usually it's only about making contact, not actually closing a sale right away.
This is a pretty cheap product, but very effective.
I'm going to post the first part of my script here, since the whole thing is pretty long. I would Love some feedback on it. This is everything before the close:
Hello. My name is NAME and I am calling from COMPANY. (Pause) I'm not going to take up too much of your time, I just wanted to ask what kind of fire security you have in your home today..? As you probably already know, there's about NUMBER of home fires every year. So that turns out to NUMBER Every Day! I'd like to ask you, have you ever been exposed to this or know someone that has? If yes: ask about it. If no: Okay, well then you can truly feel fortunate as there has been about NUMBER of home fires just in the last few years. Home fires are more common today than ever before, this is because of all the electronics we are using, such as chargers, televisions etc. For example, if you are asleep and a fire starts in your home, then you're going to wake up and do something about it right? (Wait for customer response) But, have you thought about what would happen to your home if a fire starts, and you are not at home? An insurance company may cover some of your material things, such as the sofa and TV, but there's no insurance company in the world that can replace your personal belongings, such as old memories and stuff with a sentimental value, right? Now: Tell them about the product, why it's great, what it costs and close the deal. |
