Hi__________, this is__________again in regards to your interview submission. Well, obviously you are too busy to call me back. I value your time as well and mine and I definitely don’t want to get into the chase mode here, so what I’m going to do is leave my

Listen_______, this will be the last time I will call back for now. Perhaps you’re just not ready to take charge of your financial future right now. Unless I hear from you, I’ll be taking your name out of my file for now. Again this is ________ and my numbers are________ and 1-800______. I hope all’s well and I do hope you find the time to make that call!
Bye_______.
The effectiveness of these scripts will come from being persistent with your follow through. We suggest making the second call 36 hours after the first (you may catch them at home at a different time of day) and the third, 48 hours after that. If done properly, using these 3 messages, 50% of the time they’ll call back after the third message. This is the take-away.

You don’t want your prospects to get to the point of prejudging the business by listening to a nickel and dime presentation on their answering machine. It’s a sure fire way to flush through your name list, especially if you’re new. It’s one of the worst mistakes people make with
answering machines. Ans. machines can be an asset if used right. So.. Stick to the Scripts…They Work!!!
