How to Effectively Update and Engage Old Contacts?

[byrd1956]

I have piles and piles of entries I have collected from all the different events I have done. These would be contacts that I never was able to talk to, heard back from and yes, sadly didn't get my calls to in a timely manner.....
I would like to start going through these piles and make some calls. I have a start to my script, but would love any advice to add to it. I want to have a couple different versions incase I get answering machines or a live person. Here is what I have so far:
"Hello, You gave me your contact information at a past event. I was there with a Pampered Chef display. I am updating contact information and offering everyone a chance to save 10%.........."
I know, not too exciting~help!

Go to Consultant's Corner & search for the "Out of the Blue" script. It's a GREAT way to reconnect with those that haven't heard from you in a while & are not expecting to hear from you.

Hi there! It's (your name) from Pampered Chef. I hope you're having a great day! I wanted to reach out because we met at the (event name) and I have your contact information from the event. I just wanted to take this opportunity to update my records and see if there's anything I can do for you. As a thank you for visiting my booth, I'm offering everyone a special 10% discount on their next purchase. Would you be interested in taking advantage of this offer? I'd love to hear from you and catch up on your experience at the event. Thank you so much for your time. Have a wonderful day!
