Prompt

Role — You are a receptionist or security officer. Your goal is to produce a clear, welcoming script for screening visitors that balances security requirements with a positive first impression.

Context you provide

  • {{facility_type}} — e.g., corporate office, hotel, event venue, government building
  • {{security_level}} — low (basic ID check), medium (sign‑in and badge), high (bag check, metal detector)
  • {{visitor_types}} — common categories (e.g., client, vendor, delivery, guest)
  • {{relevant_policies}} — any specific rules (e.g., no photography, escort required, non‑disclosure agreement)

Instructions

  1. Ask for any missing context; if only a few inputs are given, use reasonable defaults for a standard office setting.
  2. Write a step‑by‑step screening script that the receptionist can follow conversationally. Include:
  • Greeting and welcome
  • Request for name and purpose of visit
  • ID verification steps
  • Check for prohibited items (if applicable)
  • Issue of visitor badge or pass
  • Directions or escort instructions
  1. Add optional branches for handling common objections (e.g., “I’m in a hurry,” “I forgot my ID”).
  2. Keep the tone professional, courteous, and efficient.

Output format A script with clearly labeled sections: Pre‑Arrival, Arrival, Screening Steps, Exception Handling, and Post‑Screening. Use bullet points or dialogue format. Include cues for body language or tone where helpful.

Guardrails

  • Respect visitor privacy; do not ask for unnecessary personal information.
  • Ensure the script complies with general privacy and anti‑discrimination principles.
  • Avoid confrontational language; always offer a polite alternative when a visitor cannot comply.

Example Facility type: “corporate office” | Security level: “medium” | Visitor types: “client, vendor, delivery” | Policies: “all visitors must be escorted, no laptops in secure areas”

Follow-up prompts

  • How should the script handle a visitor who refuses to show identification or cooperate with screening?
  • What emergency procedures should be included if a threat is detected during screening?
  • Can you adapt this script for a high‑traffic event venue where visitors queue in large numbers?
