Hey _______. This is __________, __________’s son/daughter/friend. I am attending _____________ (school) as a ___________ major. The company that I’m working for offers scholarships to help me pay for school. (continue with My assignment…)

Non-Student:

Hey ________. This is __________, __________’s son/daughter/friend. I recently graduated from __________ high school and now I am pursuing my dream (dream here). The company that I’m working for has an awesome program to help me earn and learn to make my dream come true!

I’m working with Vector and my assignment is to book appointments with people to show a product called Cutco. I just need to get your opinion on it. You don’t have to buy anything, I get paid just to show it. In order to stay on track for my (scholarship / goals), I need to do ____ appointments per week. It’s fun and easy and takes less than an hour. What day this week would work best for you? It would really help me out! I look forward to hearing back from you! :)

Objections:

I don’t live in (your town / state): No problem! We have a virtual appointment program where I can walk you through the website over the phone. And I still get credit toward my (goal/scholarship). Which day would work best for you?

Busy: No problem Mrs. Jones, that’s why I will be in and out before you know it! (: Would _____ or _____ be better?

Get back to me in a week: I can definitely do that Mrs. Jones but I am in this Huge Contest and I need to complete ___ appointments by ____. Is there any way you can squeeze me in before then?

Can’t you just say you were here?: No, _____, I can’t do that. Besides it’s super quick and fun and there’s no pressure to buy because I get paid just to stop by! It would really help me out! (: Would _____ or _____ be better for you?

Not interested or not going to buy: That’s great! You don’t need to be interested. I get credit just for showing you real quick. You would be helping me out big time big time with my goal! Could you squeeze me in on _____ or would _______ be better?

Seen the demo 100 times: That’s great! You could probably do it better than me! All I have to do is stop by and cut the rope, leather, and penny, and you can give me some pointers. It would really help me out! So would _____ or would _____ be better?

Don’t feel comfortable with strangers coming to my house: Well we do have a program where I can do a virtual appointment over the phone and I don’t even have to come over. Would you at least be willing to walk through the website with me and I can quickly show you how awesome Cutco is?
