Vacation Rental Cold Calling Script
Word-for-word vacation rental cold calling script for property management companies. Includes objection handlers for signing new owners.
1The Opener
Hi, is this {{prospect_name}}?
Hey {{prospect_name}}, this is {{your_name}} with {{company_name}}. We're a vacation rental management company specializing in {{market_area}}.
I'm reaching out because I noticed you own property in {{property_area}}. Do you have a minute to chat about vacation rental opportunities?2Discovery & Pitch
Great! Is your property currently being rented, or is it sitting vacant when you're not using it?
[LISTEN - Understand their current situation]
[If not rented:] A lot of property owners are leaving money on the table. In {{market_area}}, vacation rentals are generating {{income_range}} per year for owners. Have you considered renting it out?
[If self-managing:] How's that going? What's the biggest challenge—marketing, guest management, maintenance, or something else?
[LISTEN - Identify pain points]
Here's why I called: we help property owners maximize their rental income while taking all the hassles off their plate.
We handle {{services_list}}. Our average owner sees {{income_increase}} higher income than self-managing, and they don't have to deal with any of the day-to-day headaches.
Would you be open to a free rental analysis? I can show you what your property could earn and how we'd market it.3Objection Handlers
