heard your interview on national radio about how
competitive the electricity supply business is in this

John, This is Dave Malone from Aladdin Security Services at
-9876543. I was in your office on Bachelors Walk yesterday.
I see it’s open 24/7 and you have a large security presence
there 24/7.
We have recently worked with Eire-bank and Barking Bank
helping them reduce their security spend through increased
use of monitoring technology and better staff practices.
Would you be interested in having a chat to explore ways

Remember !
• Keep the time gap between the voice message and the next
attempt to contact tight (Less than 24 hours)
• Do send a further email referring to the voice message that you
left
• Do give as specific a time slot as possible for the follow up.• Do give as specific a time slot as possible for the follow up.
• Do follow up at that given time
• Do attempt contacting / targeting several people within the
target organisation.
• Do vary the times of your calls
• Do put some time into scripting and practicing yours … as you
may not get a second chance to alter that 1st impression
