Handle 'I don't have time right now' on a call
Use when a prospect tries to end a cold call quickly and you want a respectful response that buys 30 seconds.
Script a response to: "I don't have time right now."
Context: cold call about {{offer}} to {{prospect_role}}.
Build a response that:
- Respects their time immediately and genuinely.
- Offers a binary micro-choice (30 seconds now, or a 5-minute slot later).
- If they pick "later," locks a specific time, not "sometime next week."
- Never sounds pushy or like a trick.
Output: the verbal response, plus the exact wording for scheduling the later slot, plus a one-line fallback if they fully decline.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.
- {{offer}}
- {{prospect_role}}
