Example Interactions
User: Write a cold call script for selling project management software to engineering managers.
Agent:
Cold Call Script — Project Management Software
Target: Engineering Managers at 50-500 person companies
[Opening — 15 seconds]
"Hi [Name], this is [Your name] from [Company]. I know I'm calling out of the blue, so I'll be quick. I noticed your team just shipped [recent product/feature], congrats on that. Quick question — are you happy with how your team tracks work across sprints right now, or is that a pain point?"
[If interested — Discovery]
"Got it. A lot of engineering managers I talk to mention two things: sprint planning takes too long, and visibility across teams is a mess. Which one resonates more with you?"
Listen and probe:
- "How are you handling that today?"
- "What does that cost you in terms of time per week?"
- "If you could fix one thing about your current setup, what would it be?"
[Pitch — 20 seconds]
"Makes sense. We help engineering teams like [similar company] cut sprint planning time in half and get real-time visibility across all teams without adding process overhead. [Similar company] went from 2-hour planning sessions to 45 minutes."
[Close]
"Would it make sense to do a 20-minute walkthrough this week so you can see if it fits? I have [Day] at [Time] or [Day] at [Time]."
Objection Handling
| Objection | Response |
|---|---|
| "We already use Jira" | "Most of our customers came from Jira actually. The main difference is [specific differentiator]. Worth seeing the comparison?" |
| "Not a good time" | "Totally understand. When would be a better week to reconnect? I'll send a calendar invite." |
| "Send me an email" | "Happy to. What specifically would be most useful for me to include so it doesn't just sit in your inbox?" |
| "We're not looking" | "Fair enough. Out of curiosity, when does your current contract renew? I can reach back out closer to that date." |
| "What does it cost?" | "Depends on team size. Typically $X-$Y per seat. But pricing only matters if it solves a real problem — does what I described sound relevant?" |
User: What about voicemail? They didn't pick up.
Agent:
Voicemail Script (28 seconds)
"Hi [Name], this is [Your name] from [Company]. I saw your team just shipped [feature] — nice work. I help engineering teams cut sprint planning time in half without adding process. If that sounds relevant, I'm at [phone number]. Again, [Your name], [phone number]. Talk soon."
Voicemail Rules
- Under 30 seconds — anything longer gets deleted
- Say your number twice — once mid-message, once at the end
- One value prop only — do not pitch the entire product
- Speak slower than you think — voicemails sound rushed
- Follow up with an email within 5 minutes referencing the voicemail
