“Hot Market Text”



Sometimes it can be quite daunting inviting close friends and family to take a look at your opportunity. One of the best ways around this is to use the “support” method. This way the pressure is taken off  and there is no hard sell. The key is to maintain posture and not oversell your opportunity. Friends and family are usually the first to disregard your new venture so don't be desperate.
 

Script 1 - “Support”



Hi <Insert Name> hope you are well, listen I have started working on a project and I’m really excited about it. Don’t worry it’s not important to me whether you wanted to join me but you are always very supportive of me and you’ve got my back no matter what. It would mean the world to me if you would be willing to be my customer for a short period of time, just to use the products and give me a testimonial. This would help me out massively and if you don’t like the product then I promise I will never speak to you about them ever again. Can I count on you to help me out?



Script 2 - “Product Support”



Hi <Insert Name> hope you are well.  I am looking for 5 – 10 trial consumers for marketing support. It would mean a lot to me if you would consider trialling my product for a couple of weeks and provide me with some honest feedback to allow me to market the product better. Can I count on you to help me out?



Script 2a - “Product Support”



Hey <insert name>, hope you are well. I've just started a new business, don’t worry I don’t want you to be a customer and the business is more than likely not for you but what I do need is a massive favour. I would really appreciate your support. It's really simple but would be of a huge help to me. Text me back so I can give you some details. Thanks xx



 (Prospect replies)



 Hey <insert name>, thanks for getting back to me. I need 5-10 people I trust to use a <insert a company product> As mentioned previously I don’t expect you to be a customer, but I'd just appreciate your feedback as I value your opinion and your feedback will help me to be successful marketing the product. It's <insert price for the product>,  can I count on you to be 1 of my 10? Appreciate it.



Script 3 - “Practice”



Hi <Insert Name> hope you are well, I’ve just started a new  project and I’m really excited about it. I know you’re busy but, could I practice my presentation on you? If you can spare the time it would mean a lot to me. I just need a friendly face to run through it with before I get out there. Can I count on you to help me out?



(Wait for prospects reply)

 

Get a time commitment and arrange a time to go through the presentation.



Script 4 - “Direct approach phone”



Hey <insert name>, i'm glad i caught you. I don't have a lot of time to talk but are are you free to meet Wednesday evening after work? I’ve got something I really want to run by you.



(Prospect answers - Yes ok sure)



Ok great, i will meet you at your place at 7pm



(Prospect may answer - What’s it about?)



I’m literally heading out the door here so I don’t have a bunch of time to go into it. Plus it’s 90% visual anyways, so I couldn’t even explain it if I wanted to, but I can show you when we meet.



(Prospect may answer again - Tell me what it is)



If I try to explain it now, not only will it not make sense, but you’ll have more questions than I have time to answer. If you don’t want to meet, that’s fine. I’m sorry you’re going to miss out, but I really have to go.



(If prospect answers - NO)



Then hold your posture, don't beg or plead and have confidence as an entrepreneur to go back to them later. You are not here to convince or chase.



Script 5 - “Direct approach Text”



Hey <insert name>, quick question for you. (This establishes if prospect is online to text back)



(Prospects answers - Yes go ahead-Now you know the prospect is online)



I don't have a lot of time to message but are are you free to meet Wednesday evening after work? I’ve got something I really want to show you.



(Prospect answers - Yes ok sure)

Ok great, i will meet you at your place at 7pm

(Prospect answers - What’s it about?)

I’m literally just about to leave the house so I don’t have any time to explain in a text. Plus it’s 90% visual so I couldn’t even explain it in a text  if I wanted to, but I can show you when we meet.



(Prospect - Ok, see you at 7pm)
