A buffoon walking into a dark area in bad area of town with a bag of money (they have no idea

that they are going to get robbed) you have done a little experiment online and you are getting
phone calls and you don’t know what to do with them and you want to dump them on them
(mean while you are qualifying them using a bit of posturing)

(INTRO) - Always open with this:


Hi (name), my name is (your name) would you be able to take care of a number of clients that
need (their service)

OR

Hi my name is (name), do you guys do (their service), right?

we sure do

That's great! The reason I'm calling is - I own a company and I get these calls, folks that are
looking for (their service/quotes)
But I'm not in that business myself, and the reason I'm calling is to find out if you guys would
EVEN be interested in taking these clients from me.

What Kind of Clients?

It's the stuff mostly related to (the service you targeted with your website)...but it's not for me.​.

WAIT FOR THEIR REACTION,


DON'T SAY ANOTHER WORD UNTIL THEY GIVE YOU A CUE

Tell me more
I don't understand
What kind of clients?

Well, what happened is this - this is gonna take a sec to explain so please bear with me.
I put up a number of websites to do a test with the recent google update and
one of them was (their industry).

That's actually what I do - I get websites ranked on google. Anyways the test did way better than
expected. So now I have this site with my number on it and I'm getting client calls for (their
service). So rather than take the site down,

I thought I'd make a few calls and find someone who wants more business, so...I dunno
would you EVEN be interested in taking on a few extra clients?

OR

Ok this is gonna take a sec to explain, so please bear with me

I own a company where I rank website on the 1st page of google


and I decided to do a few tests trying something that hasn’t been done
before. Well, one of the test websites that I setup in (their industry)
started getting traffic.

So now that Im getting (their service/quotes) requests, but again I'm not
in (their industry) I just did a test to see how google would react... so
rather then take down the site, I'm now thinking I wanna find someone who
wants more business so....I dunno...do you EVEN want new clients?

Just refer them to us!

That's exactly what I want to do....but it's not as simple as that...


(wait for reaction)

Well I'm real busy, and I don't have the time. I would much rather simply get
this setup so they phone or email you directly. (move directly to pitch below)

Ok, well tell you what - I hope you don't mind, but I don’t know you guys.

I had to look you up because I don't personally know anyone in this business.
Would you be open for us to meet up and once I get to know you better maybe we can work out
the details?

OR

That's great - well tell you what, you sound like a really nice person and all,
but i'd feel a heck of alot more comfortable if we could meet in person so I could get to know you
a bit better

Book Appointment​ (Meet on your own terms - even if they ask to meet at 12:00
move it 15 minutes so they meet on your terms)

Voice Mail ​Hi there, my name is (your name) I'm looking for someone who does (thing
they do) If you don't mind giving me a call back at your earliest convenience, my phone number
is (your number) Again, my name is (your name) and the number is (your number) Thank you
and have a great day!
