Get past a gatekeeper with respect
Use to script a respectful conversation with an assistant or front desk to reach the decision maker.
Write a gatekeeper script for a cold call.
I want to reach: {{decision_maker_role}} at {{company}}.
My name and company: {{my_name}}, {{my_company}}.
Reason for the call (honest): {{call_reason}}.
The script should:
- Treat the gatekeeper as an ally, not an obstacle.
- Be honest about who I am and why I am calling.
- Ask for their help directly (people help when asked respectfully).
- Have a graceful fallback if the decision maker is unavailable (best time to call, or who else could help).
Output the dialogue including likely gatekeeper responses and my replies to each.Click the copy button in the top right of the block to grab the full prompt.
Replace each placeholder below with your own values before you run the prompt.
- {{decision_maker_role}}
- {{company}}
- {{my_name}}
- {{my_company}}
- {{call_reason}}
