Hi and sorry if this has been posted already, I Looked (probably looked wrong) but couldn't find an answer.
New to being independent (have worked in call centers with hot leads from 2012-2015) and haven't done cold calling before. Budget is low so can't afford real leads, yet.
Yesterday I died 1067 numbers (predictive dialer) and got "Not Interested" 62 times without landing a single appointment. Is this normal or is it because of my script?
My script is as follows:
Agent: Good <Time of Day> is <Client> Available?
Client: That's me (Or hold on)
Agent: <Client Name> This is <Agent Name> With evelade financial group, did I catch you at an okay time?
Client: No I am <Insert Excuse Here>
Agent: Okay No problem, I'll be very brief then. I was calling because there are several state regulated final expense programs that you're entitled to and it says here you are about <insert age> years of age, is that correct?
Client: Yes thats right
Agent: Great and do you smoke or use tobacco?
Client: No
Agent: awesome and have you ever had diabetes, heart attack, stroke or cancer?
Client: No
Agent: Wow it seems like your in pretty good health, we're in your area this week which day would be better for me to stop by and get this information to you? <Insert Day> or <Insert Day>
END SCRIPT
and that is the furthest I have gotten, I personally do not like the script and not sure where I got it (I think i got it off youtube? The land of experts)
Any help would be appreciated, thanks. I Feel that with 1,000+ dials and over 60 contacts should land me at least a few appointments though I could be wrong.
----------
I left out - My list i pulled is for age 65+ with an annual income up to $35k.
