Cold calling test w/ Ari
First real call, with Ari. Before dialing I was checking three things: that the two messages arrive, that the kids are heard in the background while I talk (I want to hear if she hears me and the kids), and how the call sounds overall.
The call
- Me: Hello.
- Ari: Hello. Are you talking to Ari or Leca?
- Me: Yes. I wanted to ask you, please. I have a service to give you. It's called... Can you hear the children in the background?
- Ari: No.
- Me: Don't you hear the children in the background, really?
- Ari: No.
- Me: Fuck. How well this works. There is a child who is literally dying. And this is very good, okay?
- Ari: Sometimes yes, but no. When you speak you hear a little, but when no, no.
- Me: Okay, perfect. I come to offer a truce and to see if I can give you more love. Without a truce. Without any condition, truce. I come to offer a truce and give you more love without any conditions.
- Ari: Interesting.
- Me: Yeah. It's an offer you could not reject.
- Ari: Okay.
- Me: It's not an offer, it's a forcing. My steps, the steps I'm going to take, are clean myself, safe myself, and overall be more beautiful. Understand?
- Ari: Yeah.
- Me: I'm going to sprinkle there a little bit of, let's say, thoughtfulness, but I'm not well versed. I'm trying.
- Ari: Interesting, okay.
- Me: I'm not really good at it, but I will keep trying. Understand, okay?
- Ari: Yeah.
- Me: And yes, I think that's it for now.
- Ari: Interesting. Any input you want from me or? It was an informative call. I want to input into you.
Debrief
- Ari: Not you to input me, but such a bummer... I'm an informatics. In the end I will do the cleaning of my traje, but I will do it by hand.
- Me: Okay, I will buy a show and I will do it by hand.
- Ari: In the end you're worried. She's really, really expensive, that thing, and I don't want it to be mistreated, okay?
- Me: As long as you have it ready for the day of the wedding. Yeah, definitely, definitely.
- Ari: That will happen.
- Me: Yeah, more or less that's it. Do you have any input for me? Do you think I can improve my cold, cold, cold script somewhere?
- Ari: You were experimenting with script. Okay, well, first info is that the call was more clear and I could understand the general thought, the reason you called. The ideas were structured to a certain extent, but they were structured. You could benefit a bit more certainty on the things you say, on the tonality, how you say that. Maybe a little bit less of "I don't think it's possible."
- Me: Okay, yes.
- Ari: Overall, overall, it is more... there is a positive compared with your normal way of speaking.
- Me: Thank you very much.
- Ari: Thank you very much. Okay, and see... thank you very much, and I love you. Until the next call.
- Me: I'm trying to work, don't want me that much. Only one.
