Is my appointment setting script too long?
This one is an easy one. If you think it is, it is.
Okay, here’s a little more on the topic. Our introduction (of ourselves) includes what we call a 7 second commercial, so by definition it should be very short.
One of the reasons we suggest starting the purpose for the call with, “The reason I was calling you today is…”, is just in case we are a little long, we’re signaling to the target that we’re getting right to the point. Most will let us continue.
The operative question to ask yourself is, “Do I think it is too long?” Are you getting nervous while continuing to talk? If you are, it’s too long.
