Customer Acquisition Script “I’m working with a company that offers all of your essential home services that most people use every day like home phone service, television, wireless cell phone service and gas and electricity just to name a few. However, when you use one of our services, you’re helping support a charity that focuses on feeding children in need.” Customer Acquisition Script “Very simply, when you become one of my customers, a child gets fed each and every month for as long as you remain a customer. If I acquire a certain amount of customers this month, we can provide even more meals to hungry children, and I’m only a couple customers away from my goal. In addition, I can show you how your service could be free when you simply refer a handful of other customers who sign up for the same service.” Customer Acquisition Script “If I can offer you a service: That you are already using with the same or better quality and value that you are used to...and with the potential to receive that service for free… Can you do me a huge personal favor, help support me and this charity and become one of my customers?” (wait for response) Customer Acquisition Script – Alternate Option Using the WPFF Video “Do you mind giving me your cell number?
