Hi _______! This is ______. Your (friend, neighbor), _______ said I should give you a call. Is there a better time to call back?

Hi _________, this is _________, (remind of relation). I've called a few times and haven't got in touch with you, so I thought I would shoot you a quick text. The reason I was calling is I have a job this summer/fall with Cutco. I’m definitely not just trying to sell you something (if you want to buy, great). But that’s not really the big reason. I wanted to try something different than what most HS/college kids do to build my resume and maybe earn a scholarship for college. I get credit to just show you the products and the best part is I do it over the phone, you just need to be in front of a computer. There’s no obligation to buy, just watch & critique me if you like! I’m trying to complete ____ this week. So I was wondering if there was any way you could squeeze me into your busy schedule. It would mean a lot to me and if you can spare about 40 minutes, you can call me or I can send you my open times. Thanks so much!

Hi ________. This is ________. I’m a friend of __________ and a student at _________. She/he thought you might be able to help me out. I'm not sure if he/she told you much about what I'm doing, but I'm basically doing quick presentations for Cutco to try and earn a scholarship for college and build my resume.

I do all my presentations over the phone. We can either set it up over text or you can call me, feel free to ask me any questions too. Let me know if you'd be able to help me towards my scholarship. Thanks in advance and have a great day!
