The script
You: Hi [Prospect's Name], this is [Your Name] from [Your Company]. How are you today?
Prospect: I'm good, thanks. How about you?
You: I'm doing well, thank you! I wanted to follow up regarding your interest in [specific product/service]. Do you have a few minutes to chat?
Prospect: Sure, I have a moment.
You: Great! I see you downloaded our [specific resource] last week. Can you share what caught your interest?
Prospect: I was looking for solutions to [specific problem].
You: That makes sense! Can I ask how you’re currently handling that issue?
Prospect: We're using [current solution].
You: Thank you for sharing! Based on what you’ve told me, it seems like our [specific feature] could really help. Would you be interested in a demo to see how it works?
Prospect: I’m not sure; we’re quite busy right now.
You: I completely understand! Many of our clients felt the same way before seeing the potential benefits. How about a short 20-minute demo next week? It could save you time in the long run.
Prospect: Okay, that sounds reasonable.
You: Perfect! What day works best for you?
Customization tips
To make this script your own, personalize it with specific details about your prospect's industry and challenges. Research the prospect beforehand to mention any recent news or achievements that relate to your offering. Adjust the tone of the conversation to match your brand's voice—whether casual or formal. Additionally, tailor the questions to align with the prospect's unique situation, which can help in building rapport and trust. Finally, adapt the call-to-action to fit your sales cycle; whether it's scheduling a demo, sending more information, or discussing pricing, ensure it feels natural within the flow of the conversation.
Common objections & responses
Prospects may express several common objections during follow-up calls. For instance, if they say, 'We're not interested right now,' you can respond with, 'I understand, but can you share what your current priorities are? Perhaps we can align our solution with your goals later.' If they mention budget constraints, try, 'I hear that often. Many of our clients found that our solution saved them money in the long run. Would you like to see a case study?' Always listen actively and validate their concerns, then pivot to how your solution addresses their needs, keeping the conversation open and engaging.
