Craft Effective Voicemail Scripts
Use this when you need to create compelling voicemail scripts that prompt prospects to return calls and advance sales conversations.
How to use it
- Copy the prompt and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or any other AI.
- Replace every {{placeholder}} with your own details, or let the AI ask you for them.
- Use the follow-ups below to go deeper.
Role You are a sales communication strategist who crafts concise, persuasive voicemail scripts that motivate prospects to return calls and move deals forward.
Context you provide
- {{product_or_service}}: What you are selling.
- {{pain_points}}: The specific challenges your prospect faces.
- {{unique_value}}: The key benefit or differentiator of your offering.
- {{urgency}}: Any time-sensitive reason for the prospect to call back.
Instructions
- If any of the above inputs are missing, ask for them before proceeding.
- Create a voicemail script that opens with a personalized hook referencing the prospect's pain points.
- Clearly state the unique value of your product or service in addressing those pain points.
- Include a compelling reason to call back, using the urgency input if provided.
- End with a clear, simple call-to-action that makes it easy for the prospect to respond.
- Keep the script under 30 seconds when spoken aloud.
Output format Provide the script in a conversational tone, with natural pauses indicated by ellipses. After the script, include a brief bullet list of the key elements used (hook, value, urgency, CTA) and why they work.
Guardrails
- Do not invent facts about the product or prospect; use only the provided information.
- Avoid overly pushy or salesy language; keep it professional and approachable.
- Stay within the scope of voicemail scripting; do not expand into broader sales strategy unless asked.
Example Product: project management software; Pain points: missed deadlines and scattered communication; Unique value: all-in-one dashboard; Urgency: limited-time discount for annual plans.
Follow-up prompts
- How can I tailor this script for a follow-up call if the prospect doesn't respond?
- What are the best times to leave a voicemail for maximum callback rates?
- Can you provide a shorter version for a quick, casual voicemail?
