3 Scripts to Close Internet Leads Under 5 Minutes

Internet leads are different from referrals. They are colder, more skeptical, and have shorter attention spans. You can't use the same old scripts.

Script 1: The "Helper" Approach

"Hi [Name], this is [Your Name] from Virtual Blue. I saw you were looking for information on life insurance options to protect your family. I'm not a telemarketer, I'm the local specialist assigned to your request. I just wanted to verify a few details to see if I can even help you. Do you have 30 seconds?"

Script 2: The "Specific Benefit" Hook

"Hey [Name], [Your Name] here. You requested a quote for the new term life program. I have the preliminary numbers, but I need to ask you two quick health questions to make sure the price is accurate. Do you have a moment?"

Script 3: The "Assumptive" Close

"Hi [Name], I'm getting back to you regarding your request. I have an opening on my calendar tomorrow at 2 PM or 4 PM to go over your options. Which works better for you?"

The key is confidence and speed. Don't ask for permission to sell; ask for permission to help.
