Sales Call Script Prompt

What it does

Writes a sales call script for a discovery call or product demo — with a structured opening that earns trust quickly, qualifying questions that surface real pain, a transition from discovery to pitch, and a specific close with a clear next step. The output is designed to be used as a framework, not read verbatim — you internalize the structure and adapt it in real time.

How to use it

Read the script once to internalize the flow, then put it away. The goal is to know which question comes next and why, not to read from a page. Annotate it with your own language — wherever the script sounds like a script, replace it with how you'd actually say it.

Update the objection-handling section after every 10 calls based on what you're actually hearing.

Example output

[0:00–2:00] OPENING "Hey [Name], thanks for making time. I've got us down for 30 minutes — does that still work? [Confirm] Great. What I'd like to do is spend the first 15 minutes understanding your situation, and if it sounds like we might be a fit, I'll walk you through what we've built and we can decide if it makes sense to go further. Does that work for you?"

[2:00–15:00] DISCOVERY Q1: "What prompted you to take this call today — was there a specific trigger?" Q2: "When you think about [pain area], what does that look like for you right now?" Q3: "What have you tried to address that so far?" Q4: "If you didn't change anything, what does that look like 12 months from now?" Q5: "Who else on your team is involved when you evaluate something like this?"

[15:00–22:00] TRANSITION + PITCH "Based on what you've shared, it sounds like [reflect their specific pain back to them]. Here's what we typically do for companies in that situation..."

[22:00–28:00] OBJECTION HANDLING ...

[28:00–30:00] CLOSE "Given what we've talked about, does it make sense to [specific next step]? I can send a calendar invite right now."

Variations

SDR cold call (7 minutes): Add "This is a cold call, not a discovery. The only goal is to qualify for interest and book a longer call. Keep it under 7 minutes."

High-ticket / consultative sale: Add "This is a $50K+ sale with a long sales cycle. The script should prioritize relationship-building and deep discovery over moving quickly."

Demo-focused call: Add "The call starts with 5 minutes of discovery and moves to a 20-minute demo. Structure the demo around the pain points surfaced in discovery, not a feature walkthrough."

Common pitfalls

Pitching too early. Jumping to product before confirming pain is the most common failure mode. The discovery questions come first.

Yes/no questions. "Are you having trouble with X?" gets a yes or no. "What does X look like for your team?" gets a story. Open questions surface the information you need to sell.

No clear next step. A call that ends with "I'll follow up in a few days" doesn't close. The call ends with a specific agreed next action.
