Ok, what about saying something like - I'm calling to see if you "qualify" for our exclusive programs. Not everyone does, and I don't want to waste your time. Can you answer just a few questions? we'll know quickly whether or not you're a candidate. If not, I'll be on to my next call & the luckiy recipient!
"Exclusive Program"?
Are you serious?
Exclusive to whom?
You?
Surely not the business.
On the whole I do agree with the modifications to the script, I'm going to adapt this myself and use it for my cold calling, I'm doing B2B in person prospecting.
I'm saddled with a little thing called "compliance" here. Were I to mention words like "exclusive" "30-40% discount.." during a pitch, and failed to deliver, there'd be hell to pay with my GA and with MassMutual, as well as the other carriers that I have.
