Small Talk

Less than 20 seconds

Open with a warm greeting and brief personal connection

Connect small talk to Body

Listen, the reason I am calling is, I do not know if I told you this, but I recently got some financial licensing.

Bridge the personal conversation to the business opportunity

Body

Meat of call

Listen, I just want to set a time to hop on a zoom and show you what I am doing. So that you or someone you may know in the future could use what I do I would just like you to know enough information that you would feel comfortable referring me.

Present the opportunity clearly and simply

Close

Set up time to present

So, as far as us getting together what is better for you guys weekends or weekdays?

Get a specific commitment for the appointment

POST CLOSE

Confirm time to present

Important Notes

Talk Slower and Lower: Speak deliberately and with confidence. This shows you're in control.

Keep it Short: Phone call should take less than 2 minutes total.

Get Specific: An appointment is a TIME, DATE, and PLACE where you will present to a couple or individual.

Be Confident: Your energy and confidence will directly impact whether they say yes or no.

What is an Appointment?

A Time

Specific date and time agreed upon

A Date

Clear scheduling on the calendar

A Place

Where you will PRESENT to a couple or an individual

Without appointments, nothing happens — no presentations, no sales, no recruiting.

The Appointment Setting Process

1

Identify Your Prospects

Start with your personal network—friends, family, coworkers, and referrals. Everyone you meet is a potential prospect for a presentation.

2

Make Initial Contact

Reach out in a natural, friendly way. Your goal is simply to start a conversation and gauge their openness to learning about what you do.

3

Present the Opportunity

Share a brief overview of what you do and how you help families. Keep it simple and conversational—not a hard sell.

4

Invite to a Meeting

Confidently invite them to sit down (in person or on Zoom) for a more detailed presentation. Get a specific time, date, and location confirmed.

5

Follow Up & Confirm

Send a reminder message or email confirming the appointment. Ask questions and address any objections to increase their likelihood of showing up.

Keys to Success

Ask Confidently

Believe in what you're offering. When you ask with confidence, people are more likely to say yes.

Follow Up Relentlessly

Most appointments come after multiple touches. Don't give up after the first "not right now."

Specific & Clear

Always pin down a specific time, date, and location. Vague invitations lead to no-shows.

Listen & Overcome Objections

Listen to what they're really saying. Address concerns calmly and help them see the opportunity.
