Purpose: Handle incoming calls from prospects who have already expressed interest in your product or service. These calls typically involve responding to inquiries, providing information, and converting interested prospects into customers.
Core Best Practices for Alex Call Scripts
1. Structure Your Script in Clear Sections
Organize your script using these essential sections to help Alex understand its role and responsibilities:
Alex Identity: Define who Alex Calling Agent represents and his/her role
Call Objective: Clearly state the primary goal of the call
Conversation Flow: Provide logical progression through different call phases
Objection Handling: Prepare responses for common objections
Call Conclusion: Define how to properly end the call
2. Write Conversational, Not Robotic Language
Alex should sound natural and human-like. Use conversational language patterns and include natural speech elements:
Use contractions ("I'll" instead of "I will")
Include brief pauses with ellipses (...)
Add occasional filler words like "um" or "well" sparingly
Vary sentence structure and length
Write out numbers in word form (e.g., "two thousand" instead of "2000") to ensure Alex pronounces them naturally - otherwise "2000" will be read as "two zero zero zero"
3. Use Markdown Formatting
Alex processes markdown formatting effectively, so structure your scripts with:
Bold text (**) for emphasis
Bold text (**) for emphasis
Using Bold Text for Emphasis: Remember to **always confirm the meeting time** before ending the call. The **most important qualification question** is about their decision-making process. **Never** proceed without understanding their current pain points.
Code blocks (```) for exact phrases or technical terms
Code blocks (```) for exact phrases or technical terms
Using Code Blocks for Exact Phrases: When confirming a meeting, say exactly: ``` Just to confirm, I have you down for a 30-minute demo this Tuesday at 2 PM Eastern. I'll send you a calendar invite with the Zoom link. Does that still work for your schedule? ``` For price objections, use this exact response: ``` I understand budget is always a consideration. Rather than focus on price right now, can you help me understand what this problem is currently costing you? ```
