Coaching notes
- Sales greetings fail when they sound like a pitch. Read 'Sorry I missed you' like you actually are, and keep the energy friendly rather than bright.
- 'The best time to reach you' is the most useful phrase here. Lean on it slightly. It turns a missed call into a scheduled one.
- Spoken links are hard to catch. Say '[Booking Link]' slowly, and spell out anything unusual, like a hyphen or a number.
Try it three more ways
- Read it as a seasoned rep in a consultative role: calm, low, relaxed.
- Read it as an upbeat inside sales rep at a fast-growing company, and keep it under 15 seconds.
- Read it as if the next caller is an unhappy customer: more reassuring, less salesy.
