Does anyone have a foolproof, or one that has "worked for them", appointment setting script. The leads are from a "press 1" dialer. Still struggling ...

My question is what is the auto dialer offering them if they press 1.

Example, is it saying that the cost of funerals have more then doubled, and to press one to get an agent to call you to help you cover the cost with life insurance.

I can tell you don't try and sell the product over the phone, just sell the appointment and your coming out to see them in person.

Find the Don Runge tapes "the Approach", sometimes on Ebay for around $20, that what I spent. Good foundation, focused on making appointments from leads.

Something similar. They know they are requesting info on insurance for burial.

Why do autodialers and TV ads talk about the cost of funeral and burial but direct mail postcards focus on the $255 from Social Security?

Are the leads from autodialers and TV ads for FE better than direct mail and easier to work?

Our agents are achieving a 15% close ratio on $10.00 leads from the autodialer.

What is the close ratio with direct mail?

Up till this week my closing ratio with appointments is 24.1% for direct mail cards. I actually get appointments with about 80% of returned cards.

You were nice enough to send me a copy of the offer that the recording makes. As I stated in my email to you, you need to add a "press 2 to opt out of the special list."

Right now, your call is illegal but certainly easy to fix.

Yes - but they aren't enforcing it - probably never will.

Residential without permission should be "illegal" by 9/09 as well - but, they won't enforce then either.

Is that the kind of training you give your new agents? Your ethics astound me.

Rick - you should really remove that bur from your ^%& . . .

Based on where one gets their information - all auto blast calls are illegal - regardless of what "#" is pressed if to a residential number.

All I was saying if you are breaking the law in the onset - what does it matter if you comply with a portion of the law?

Actually - we don't use auto blast anymore inhouse. We may buy some leads created by them - but we don't create them.

Thanks for sending it to me. I liked the wav. Some of us that do cold calling should also copy some of it.

Some of the auto dialers can dial thousands of homes in a day's time. My friend told me that his dials 6 lines at a time using voip.

I've been told that the laws are changing with auto dialers, that use a pre-recording.

Some of us also use predictive dialers,that you are on stand by waiting on the person to pick up. I wish I had one of these.

This is an area I would love to learn more about. I'm used to just cold calling myself. I wish I had a predictive caller back in the day.

There was a time, I did fax blasting, until the laws changed and they threaten to kill me. LOL

In that case, all I can now say it's a very good "spiel." Thanks again for making it available.

You can check out:

Auto Dialer :: Predictive Dialer :: Power Dialer :: Voice Mail Systems by Electronic Voice Services

They sell and lease autodialers

Their bigboy runs off of 150 lines and can deliver 9000 messages an hour

I've used them in the past, real nice people, will help you every step of the way to be successful with their equipment.

If you are going to buy would suggest using your own (or buying a cheap) computer and just buying their hardware and software. They will install it all for you. Much cheaper.

Re: FE lead appointment setting phone script             Go to Top

Automatic phone software - predictive dialer, autodialer, automatic calling, phone reminder, voice broadcast, telephony, CTI software

This is the one we used.

Very reliable - very robust.
