Call script: inviting past customers of a window cleaning firm back for spring

Scenario 1: a past customer answers

Opening. "Hi, is this Mark? It's Anna from Clearview Window Care. We cleaned your windows last April. Have you got a minute?"

  • Yes → go to The reason for the call.
  • "Not now" → "Of course. When is better, today after five or tomorrow morning?" Note the time and end the call politely.
  • "Who?" → "Clearview, the window cleaners. We did your house on Elm Road last spring." Then The reason for the call.

The reason for the call. "We're planning the spring rounds on your street for the week of April 14. Past customers get first pick of the days. Would you like us to book you in?"

AnswerWhat to say next
"Yes""Great. Is it the same as last time, outside only, or inside too?" → Booking
"How much is it?""Last time it was the outside of a two-storey house. That's $120 this season." → Booking
"We're not sure yet""No problem. I can hold a day for you until Friday with nothing to pay. Shall I?"
"We use someone else now"Go to objection 7.

Objections (3 of 15)

4. "It's too expensive." "I understand. Most customers on your street book outside only, and that keeps it at $120. If you book with a neighbour on the same day, you both get $15 off. Would that help?"

7. "We found someone cheaper." "That's fair, thanks for telling me. If anything changes, we're still doing your street on April 14. Can I send you a text with our number, just in case?"

11. "Call me in the summer." "Sure. Shall I put you down for a call in the first week of June? The summer rounds book up fast."

Voicemail

"Hi Mark, it's Anna from Clearview Window Care. We're cleaning on your street the week of April 14, and past customers get first pick of the days. Call or text us back on this number. Thanks!"

Files: Word and PDF. The prices, discount and dates come from the client's brief: we write the script and never call anyone.

Client: Clearview Window Care, a window cleaning firm with 4 crews in one city. Task: a script for calling customers who booked last year but not this year, to offer the spring clean. Standard package: 3 scenarios, 15 objections, a voicemail and a follow-up text. Excerpt below.

The client and all details are made up.

About this service

A help desk call goes well when the user is calmed down, the ticket has everything the next person needs, and nobody is asked for their password. This script gives your first line a steady routine: greeting, checking who is calling by your rules, describing the problem in the user's words, first checks you already use, logging the ticket with its priority and agreeing on the next update. It covers password and access requests, outages that hit many users at once, and frustrated callers who say 'it's urgent, my boss is waiting'. Escalation points, priorities and checks come only from your brief. You get a Word and PDF script. We write it only: we never take calls, open your systems or write technical procedures beyond what you send. Security and privacy rules differ by company and country, so check the script against yours.

What is included

What we need from you

Who calls you (staff of one company, clients of an IT provider), your ticket system and fields, priority levels and response times, how callers are identified, the first checks your desk is allowed to do, when and to whom tickets are escalated, how outages are announced, the calls you get most, and the language and tone. You may attach your procedures, a priority table or a current script as Word or PDF files or screenshots, up to 3 files. Please do not send passwords, internal addresses or other sensitive data.

We will ask you:

  • Who calls your help desk?
  • Which calls come in most?
  • How are tickets prioritised and escalated?
  • How do you check who is calling?

Questions and answers

Will you take support calls or fix problems?

No. We write the script; your help desk takes the calls and does the work.

Will you write technical fixes?

Only the first checks you send us, put into plain words for callers. We do not write new technical procedures or open your systems.

How does the script handle passwords?

It never asks for a password. Resets follow your identity check and reset steps exactly as you describe them.

Can it be used for clients of an IT provider?

Yes. Tell us about your contracts and service levels, and the script will say what is covered and what is quoted separately.
