Outbound Calls
Scripts & Prompts for Sales or Collections
Learn how to write effective system prompts and scripts for outbound sales and collection calls
The power of outbound calling lies in having a clear, well-structured conversation flow. Here’s how to craft an effective script.
1. System Prompt Best Practices
- Introduce Your Company: “You are the Sales Bot for Ace Marketing…”
- Purpose: “…you offer a 20% discount if the user is interested, or schedule a callback if uncertain.”
- Objection Handling: “…if they say ‘no budget’, attempt to collect a reason or set a reminder for next month.”
2. Example (Sales Prompt)
3. Example (Collections Prompt)
4. Handling Yes/No/Maybe
- Yes: Provide details or transfer to a human for finalizing.
- No: Respectfully close, mark lead as not interested.
- Maybe: Offer to schedule a follow-up call or provide more info.
Tip: Keep your script short and direct. The AI can adapt, but a concise prompt helps keep calls focused and efficient.
