Help I Need A Script!
Okay, I have built a list of potentially motivated sellers, mostly preforeclosures, and am ready to try to make that first phone contact. What do I say?? Somehow I don't think "I noticed your home was in foreclosure..." will get the best response. All reponses are greatly appreciated. Thanks! 
I would start by sending them a letter or brochure explaining how you may can help solve their problem. Then let them respond to you. Wait a week and send a postcard to show your continued interest in helping them.
Why not create a
"We Have solutions for Your Debt Problems" Or "We Buy Houses Fast"
- post cards.
With a number they can reach you.
Well I actualy go door-to-door so I think my pitch would work for you on the phone, you might just want to modify it a little.
"Hello, sir/mam, my name is (Your Name here), and I found that you may be facing a foreclosure." " I specialize in dealing with foreclosures, owners,
and the banks. I can help stop your foreclosure, and get you back on your feet." If you havn't already done so, I would like to sit down with you and discuss some possibilites in helping you out"
I cant take the cresdit for this though, I got it off another investort on TCI, just cant rember who.
Anyways, most of the time I dont get past the first sentance, and I mess up ocassionaly.
Best of Luck,
James
Dear James,
The secret is you have to get your foot in the door to stop it from slamming shut. You should see the cut on my shoe! Yes I really hate it when they have those funny steel strips at the bottom. Or the dog that comes flying out and grabs you by the throat.
Of course there is the householder who is really up tight cause he may lose his house. So he meets you at the door with the gun.
"My!" you say, "Now that is really a collectors item. Why you could get at least $20,000 for it and that really advanced trigger set."
By this time you have the gun and are examining it. But seeing you have the gun, you merely point it at him. Whip out a grant deed and tell him to sign over the house or you will blow his head off. You might fire a shot or two just to convince him to use his right name on the deed.
You thank him and leave. Your job is done. Record the deed, sell the house.
For a proper script Personal Message me and I will write one given your real name, where do you live, state and county.
Lucius My god I swallowed the Olives!!
PM sent, and I surly hope I never get a gun in my face, but it seems some of the home owners might want it that way.
Thanks a lot,
James
Thanks for all the responses so far! Any other ideas on a script to use for first voice contact on the phone or in person?

Hi Lufos...Would you mind sketching me a personal script as indicated above...I would be more than grateful. Marc Youngblood, Stockton, Ca
Happy Guy(retired fire chief/real estate investor) I check the site every day just to catch your musings...you're a blessing.
Do you have Jon's book? I know there is a script in there. I believe it has a whole presentation from the first phone call to the sellers house to closing the deal. I would check it out.
