I'm Busy (Pre-Script)
I can appreciate that, this will only take a second.
How did you get my cell?
1) I didn't realize this was your cell, your contact came across my desk, can I give you the reason for the call and if it makes sense I can call you back on an appropriate business line?
2) I didn't realize this was your cell, I'll make sure this number doesn't get called again, but while I have you can I give you the reason for the call?
I'm walking into a meeting
I can appreciate that,
1) It will take me 60 seconds to tell you why I'm calling, then if it makes sense, we can schedule time to talk further.
2) I can give you the reason for the call and if it's relevant we can schedule time to discuss later, does that sound fair?
I don't have time right now
Sorry for catching you out of the blue, I was reaching out to see if you're the right person to discuss your organizations HR tools and systems?
[Yes] Great, do you have a minute for me to explain why I am calling and if it makes sense, I can call you back at a more convenient time?
I'm busy (Post-script)
I can appreciate that, are you still using ___ for payroll?
Not Interested (Pre-Script)
Can I give you the reason for the call and if it makes sense, we can re-connect later?
Send me an email (Pre-Pitch)
I can certainly send you over an email, just to make sure I send you relevant information, if you could wave a magic wand to change something about your current HR tech, what would you change?
Call me back
I absolutely will, can I tell you the reason for the call to make sure it's relevant?
Not interested (Post-Script)
I can appreciate that, is that because you already have a system in place?
[Yes]
Everyone I speak with currently has a system in place. I'm curious, are you still using ___?
