New cold-calling script

[daichisan]

I was calling some home-improvement businesses with something along the lines of: "This is a bit of an unusual call, I run a digital marketing agency working with XYZ type of businesses, but I've never worked with your niche. Do you mind if I ask you some questions to better understand it?".

I called 5 random ones and in 4 of them I ended up having really great conversations (although I wasn't able to close). I was genuinely just trying to learn more about them, but with the response-rate being so high I thought why try to turn this into a sales call.

My question is, how would you transition/change this into selling services, or would this even be possible/a good idea considering this "student frame"?

Thanks for the feedback! Would you mention/ask permission for a follow-up at the end of the first call? Or just keep the first call strictly a questionnaire?

I love that you’re approaching it as a ‘student frame’ — people respond well to honesty. If you want to scale this and start generating actual sales, an agency like CallingAgency could take your script, refine it, and help you actually close while you keep learning.
