8 Cold Call Scripts to Get Appointments

Below, you’ll find 8 of the best cold call scripts to get appointments.

1. The “I Do My Research” Approach

When to Use It:

Use this script when you have time to research a prospect and want to build rapport with them.

Why It’s Effective: 

Prospects are more likely to be receptive to calls from someone who has taken the time to learn about their business. According to LinkedIn’s 2022 Global State of Sales report, 76% of top-performing salespeople state they “always” perform research. A personalized approach to cold calling shows prospects that you’re not just making a generic sales pitch. This approach helps to build rapport, increase trust, and improve your chances of getting an appointment. 

Example Cold Call Script:

Hi [prospect’s name], this is [your name] from [your company]. I’m calling because I saw that you recently launched a new product line. 

[Pause]

Option A: If the prospect confirms, proceed to the next stage of the conversation. If they say they’re unfamiliar with the product line, explain it briefly and then proceed to the next stage of the conversation. If they say they’re not interested in talking about it, politely apologize for taking their time and end the call.

Option B: If the prospect doesn’t respond or seems unsure, ask them if they have a few minutes to chat about their new product line. If they say yes, proceed to the next stage of the conversation. If they say no, politely apologize for taking their time and end the call.

I’ve been following your company for some time now, and am really impressed with what you’re doing. 

[Pause]

Option A: If the prospect thanks you or says something positive, acknowledge their comment and proceed to the next stage of the conversation. If they don’t respond or seem indifferent, move on to the next question.

Option B: If the prospect asks what you’ve been impressed with, briefly highlight a few things that you’ve noticed about their company that you find impressive. This will show them that you’ve done your research and that you’re genuinely interested in their business.

I’m curious to learn more about your marketing goals for this new product line. What are some of the challenges you’re facing? 

[Pause]

Option A: If the prospect is open to discussing their marketing goals, actively listen to their responses and ask clarifying questions to understand their needs and challenges better.

Option B: If the prospect is hesitant to share their marketing goals, try to rephrase the question in a less direct way. For example, you could ask: “What are your hopes for the success of this new product line?” or “What are some of the things you’re hoping to achieve with this new product launch?”

At [your company], we help companies like yours automate their marketing campaigns, track their results, and generate more leads. We’ve helped other businesses in your industry achieve significant results, and I’m confident that we can help you do the same. 

[Pause]

Option A: If the prospect expresses interest, briefly explain how your software can help them achieve their marketing goals. Be specific and provide examples of how you’ve helped other businesses in their industry.

Option B: If the prospect seems skeptical, send them a case study or other resource demonstrating your company’s success in helping businesses like theirs.

I’d love to schedule a demo to show you how our software can help you promote your new product line. How about next Tuesday at 10 am? 

[Pause]

Option A: If the prospect is available, confirm the appointment and send them a calendar invitation.

Option B: If the prospect is unavailable, ask for a few alternative times that work for them. If they still can’t find a time that works, offer to send them a link to a scheduling page where they can choose a time that works for them.

Option C: If the prospect is not interested in scheduling a demo, thank them for their time and ask if there is anything else you can help them with. If there is not, politely end the call.

2. The “Gatekeeper Script”

When to Use It:

This script should be used when you’re trying to reach a decision-maker but have to go through a “gatekeeper.”

Why It’s Effective: 

Being polite and respectful shows the gatekeeper that you are a professional. Speaking clearly and concisely shows you appreciate their time. Having a specific reason for calling shows you are genuinely interested in the company. These actions create a positive impression and increase the likelihood of gaining access to the decision-maker.

Example Cold Call Script:

Hi [gatekeeper’s name], this is [your name] from [your company]. 

[Pause]

Option A: If the gatekeeper asks who you are or what your company does, briefly explain your name, your company, and the purpose of your call.

Option B: If the gatekeeper asks to transfer you to the voicemail of the decision-maker, politely decline and request to speak with the gatekeeper directly. Explain that you’ll only take a few minutes of their time and that you believe your message is relevant to the decision-maker.

I’m calling because I’d like to speak with [decision-maker’s name] about [brief description of your product or service]. 

[Pause]

Option A: If the gatekeeper says they’re not sure if [decision-maker’s name] is the right person to speak with, ask if they can suggest someone else. If they can’t, politely request to be connected with [decision-maker’s name] anyway and explain that you’ll be brief.

Option B: If the gatekeeper says [decision-maker’s name] is not available, ask if there is a better time to call back. If not, politely request to leave a message for [decision-maker’s name] and ask if there is any specific information you should include in the message.

I know they’re busy, so I’ll keep this brief. I’ve done some research on [company name], and I believe that we can help you achieve your goals in [specific area]. 

[Pause]

Option A: If the gatekeeper is receptive, briefly explain how your product or service can help the company achieve its goals. Be specific and provide examples of how you’ve helped other businesses in their industry.

Option B: If the gatekeeper seems skeptical, offer to send them a case study or other resource that demonstrates your company’s success in helping businesses like theirs.

Is there a good time to call back and speak with [decision-maker’s name]? 

[Pause]

Option A: If the gatekeeper is willing to connect you with the decision-maker, thank them for their time and confirm the appointment. Send a calendar invitation to the decision-maker immediately.

Option B: If the gatekeeper cannot give you a specific time, ask if you can call back later to check their availability. If not, politely thank them for their time and request they leave a message for [decision-maker’s name].

Option C: If the gatekeeper says they are not authorized to schedule meetings for the decision-maker, ask if they can provide you with their direct contact information. If they cannot, politely thank them for their time and end the call.

3. The “Irresistible Offer” Call

When to Use It: 

Use this script if you know your prospect’s pain points and have an adequate solution and limited-time offer.

Why It’s Effective: 

According to research, 96% of consumers are most influenced by cold calls that effectively convey the value their products or services offer prospects. People are more inclined to respond to an offer they perceive as valuable; this is why limited-time offers and special promotions are so effective. They create a sense of urgency that motivates people to act quickly, especially if they want to save money.

Example Cold Call Script:

Hi [prospect’s name], this is [your name] from [your company].

[Pause]

Option A: If the prospect asks who you are or what your company does, briefly say your name, company, and the purpose of your call.

Option B: If the prospect seems dismissive or uninterested, politely acknowledge their response and proceed to the next stage of the conversation.

I’m calling because I know you’re looking for a way to [solve the prospect’s pain point]. 

[Pause]

Option A: If the prospect confirms that they are looking for a solution, proceed to the next stage of the conversation. If they say they are not familiar with the pain point, briefly explain it and then proceed to the next stage of the conversation. If they say they are not interested in talking about it, politely apologize for taking their time and end the call.

Option B: If the prospect asks what you’ve heard about their pain point, briefly explain your understanding of the situation and how you’ve helped other businesses address similar challenges.

We’re offering a special promotion to new customers for a limited time. For a limited time, we’re offering a 20% discount on our services. 

[Pause]

Option A: If the prospect expresses interest in the promotion, provide more details about the discount and the timeframe of the offer. Be prepared to address any questions they may have.

We’ve helped other businesses in your industry [achieve specific results]. I’m confident that we can help you achieve the same results. 

[Pause]

Option B: If the prospect asks for more specific examples, tailor your response to their industry and the particular pain point you’re addressing. Highlight the similarities between their situation and the success stories you share.

4. The “Problem Solver” Script

When to Use It:

This script should be used when you know the prospect’s pain points and have a solution to their problem.

Why It’s Effective: 

People are more likely to engage with a salesperson who can solve their problems. Problem-solving skills build rapport and trust, positioning you as an expert and increasing the likelihood that the prospect will learn more about your product or service. Considering that 42% of salespeople feel unprepared for calls, being prepared and ready with a solution can set you apart.

Example Cold Call Script:

Why It’s Effective: 

This script is concise, informative, and focused on the prospect’s needs. It aims to spark interest and schedule a follow-up conversation without overwhelming the prospect with too much information. Research from Gong shows that salespeople who are direct and state their reason for calling are 2.1x more successful.

Why It’s Effective: 

Internal referrals are a highly effective strategy for cold calling. They build trust and credibility, leading to higher conversion rates and reduced friction. Salespeople can overcome the challenges of cold calling by leveraging the power of existing relationships. There hasn’t been much research done on internal referrals for cold calling, but they’re highly effective for hiring new employees.

8. The “Friendly Chat”

When to Use It:

Use this script to build a relationship with the prospect and learn more about their needs before making a pitch.

Why It’s Effective: 

This script is effective because it’s personalized, shows genuine interest, respects time constraints, and offers value. This approach makes prospects feel valued and more likely to engage in the conversation. For instance, simply asking “How have you been?” can increase cold call success rate by 6.6x. Being friendly is a great way to get prospects to engage with you.

How to Use a Cold Call Script to Get Appointments

Now that we’ve shared the scripts with you, here’s how to best take advantage of them. Below, we’ve provided some of our best cold calling tips to get more appointments.

Emphasize The Meeting

With cold calling, you must first focus on scheduling a meeting with the prospect before any sales pitch. Save the selling of your product or service until later on. Prospects are more likely to be receptive to a meeting if they feel it’ll be a valuable use of their time. There are several benefits to this approach:

• It builds rapport with the prospect: When you focus on the prospect’s needs and challenges, you show that you’re genuinely interested in helping them. This can help to build rapport and trust with the prospect.
• It positions you as a trusted advisor: By framing the meeting as an opportunity for the prospect to get expert advice, you position yourself as a trusted advisor. This can make the prospect more likely to do business with you in the future.
• It creates a sense of urgency: When you ask for the meeting directly, you create a sense of urgency. This can help to motivate the prospect to schedule a meeting right away.

If you’re having trouble emphasizing the meeting during your cold calls with your prospects, here are some helpful, actionable tips:

• Position the meeting as an opportunity for the prospect to learn more about their needs and challenges: For example, you could say: “I’m calling because I think we can help you [solve prospect’s pain point]. I’d love to schedule a meeting to learn more about your specific needs and see how we can help.”
• Frame the meeting as a way for the prospect to get expert advice: For example, you could say: “I’m a [your title] with over [number] years of experience in [your industry]. I’d happily share my insights and expertise with you in a 15-minute meeting.”
• Make it clear what the prospect can expect from the meeting: For example, you could say: “In our meeting, I’ll share some case studies of how we’ve helped other businesses in your industry. I’ll also provide you with a free [resource] that you can use to [solve prospect’s pain point].”
• Ask for the meeting directly. Don’t beat around the bush: Once you’ve established that the prospect is interested in learning more, ask them if they would be willing to schedule a meeting. For example, you could say: “Would you be willing to schedule a 15-minute meeting next week to learn more about how we can help you [solve prospect’s pain point]?”

Following these tips can increase your chances of landing appointments from cold calls.

Personalize Your Approach

Personalization is essential when it comes to cold calling. Personalizing your approach shows prospects that you’re not just another salesperson looking to sell them a product or service. This immediately separates you from your competitors.

Personalization demonstrates that you’ve taken the time to learn about the target company and its problems and pain points. More specifically, it accomplishes these three things:

• It makes the prospect feel valued: When you take the time to personalize your approach, you make the prospect feel valued and appreciated. This can make them more receptive to your message.
• It makes you more memorable: If you can make a memorable impression on the prospect, they will be more likely to remember you and your company when they need your product or service.
• It makes you more trustworthy: When you personalize your approach, you show the prospect that you’re genuine and that you’re not just trying to sell them something. This can make you more trustworthy and credible.

Struggling to personalize your cold calling approach? There are a handful of different tactics that you can utilize; consider using some of these methods below:

• Research the prospect and their company: Before you make the call, take some time to research the prospect and their company. This will help you to understand their business, their challenges, and their goals.
• Use the prospect’s name throughout the call: Address the prospect by name throughout the call. This will make the conversation more personal and will help to build rapport.
• Reference something specific about the prospect or their company: Mention something specific that you learned about the prospect or their company during your research. This will show the prospect that you’ve done your homework and that you’re interested in learning more about them.
• Tailor your pitch to the prospect’s needs: Don’t just give a generic pitch about your product or service. Tailor your pitch to the specific needs and challenges of the prospect.
• Use social media to connect with the prospect: Before or after the call, try to connect with the prospect on social media. This can be a great way to build rapport and keep your company top of mind.

These tips, if implemented properly, can effectively personalize your cold calls and increase your chances of landing appointments. Don’t forget to consider the best times for cold calling. Alter your strategy if you are aware of your prospect’s schedule and work hours. 

Adapt on the Fly 

Even with a perfect script, the prospect might not always respond the way you expect them to. No two cold calls are the same; it’s important to adapt on the fly and adjust your approach accordingly. Here are some general benefits of having a flexible, elastic strategy:

• It makes you more effective: When you can adapt to the prospect’s needs and challenges, you become more effective at selling your product or service.
• It makes you more persuasive: When you can tailor your pitch to the specific needs of the prospect, you become more persuasive.
• It makes you more resilient: When you can handle objections and setbacks, you become more resilient and less likely to give up on a prospect.

So, how do you adapt your cold calling approach on the fly? The best way is to simply gain more experience and practice as you encounter these scenarios. However, there are some basic best practice guidelines you can follow: 

• Be a good listener: Pay close attention to what the prospect is saying and how they are responding to your questions. This will help you to identify their needs and challenges and to tailor your pitch accordingly.
• Ask questions to probe for more information: If the prospect doesn’t seem interested in what you have to say, ask them questions to probe for more information. This will help you to better understand their needs and challenges and to make your pitch more relevant.
• Be prepared to handle objections: Objections are a natural part of the sales process. Be prepared to handle them by asking clarifying questions, providing additional information, or reframing the objection.
• Don’t be afraid to pivot: If the prospect is not interested in your product or service, don’t be afraid to pivot to a different topic. For example, you could offer to provide them with some free resources or to connect them with someone else who can help them.

By following these tips, you can adapt on the fly in cold calls and increase your chances of landing appointments.

Make it Easy to Book an Appointment

Successful cold calling is about influencing your prospects to take action by removing barriers. You must make it as easy as possible for prospects to book an appointment with you. The easier it is for them to schedule a time to talk to you, the more likely they are to do so. More specifically, it’ll accomplish the following: 

• It shows that you respect the prospect’s time: When you make it easy for the prospect to book an appointment, you show that you respect their time. This can help to build rapport and trust with the prospect.
• It reduces friction: When you make it easy for the prospect to schedule a time to talk to you, you reduce friction and make it more likely that they will actually show up for the meeting.
• It increases your chances of closing a deal: The more appointments you book, the more chances you have to close a deal. By making it easy to book an appointment, you can increase your sales pipeline and your overall sales performance.

You can use several tactics to make it easier for prospects to book an appointment with you. Here are some actionable examples that you can take advantage of:

• Offer multiple scheduling options: Don’t just ask the prospect if they are available to talk next week. Instead, offer them multiple scheduling options, such as “How about next Monday at 10:00 AM or 2:00 PM?” This will give them more flexibility and make it more likely that they will be able to find a time that works for them.
• Use a scheduling tool: There are several scheduling tools available that can make it even easier to book appointments. These tools allow you to send the prospect a link to a scheduling page where they can choose a time that works for them.
• Follow up immediately: After you book an appointment, send the prospect a confirmation email with all of the details of the meeting. This will help to ensure that they don’t forget about the appointment.

By following these tips, you can make it easy for the prospect to book an appointment with you and increase your chances of landing more appointments.
