1The Opener

Hi, is this {{prospect_name}}?

Hey {{prospect_name}}, this is {{your_name}} with {{company_name}}. We provide dumpster rentals in {{service_area}}.

I'm calling because {{reason_for_call}}. Do you have a quick minute?

2Discovery & Pitch

Great! Tell me about your project. What kind of work are you doing, and how big is it?

[LISTEN - Understand project type: renovation, cleanout, roofing, etc.]

Based on that, I'd recommend a {{dumpster_size}} dumpster. How long do you think you'll need it?

[LISTEN]

And when do you need it delivered?

[LISTEN]

Perfect. Here's how we work: I deliver the dumpster when you need it, you fill it up, and I haul it away when you're done. Pricing for a {{dumpster_size}} is {{price}} for {{rental_period}}, which includes {{weight_included}} of debris.

I have availability on {{day}}. Does that work for delivery?

Your Response

For a {{dumpster_size}} dumpster, it's {{price}} for {{rental_period}}. That includes {{weight_included}} of debris. If you go over weight, there's an additional fee, but most projects stay within the limit. Sound reasonable?

I have availability on {{day}}. Should I book that for delivery?

Let me get you on the schedule. When do you need it dropped off?

I can have it there {{day}} morning. Does that work?
