Cold call scripts

What are your scripts to book demos? Thinking of switching things up just to keep things interesting.

Before I get one of those “you don’t need a script” gurus commenting, I also mean the template/format of your call.

For reference, mine lately has been:

I play around with a few openers, permission based, or that one guy’s “heard the name being tossed around?” (Usually get them to laugh here)

Then I ask if they deal with 1-3 different problems (not challenges)

Ask how they deal with it.

Probe to lead to an actual challenge/headache.

Ask a hypothetical question (sometimes if I’m bored), “what if you could solve that, what would that do?”

And then/or just go straight for the “that’s why I reached out, how about we find sometime tomorrow to talk when I’m not calling out of the blue.”

Critique the script all you like, happy to change it, my boss always encourages us to try new things to keep the job exciting, it’s truly a gruelling one, so I’ll do almost anything (if it makes sense)
