Cold call objection · Script + tipsHow to Handle ‘Send Me an Email’Cold call script
“Just send me an email” is the most common brush-off in cold calling. It sounds like a yes, but most of the time it is a polite way to end the call. Agree to send it – then make the email worth reading and book the follow-up before you hang up.
Show me the scriptWhat to say when they say “Send me an email”
Just send me an email.
Happy to. So it isn’t a generic brochure – what should it answer for you: cost, how it works, or whether it fits a team your size?
I guess whether it fits.
Fair. Two quick questions so I send the right thing: how many people are on the team, and what do you use today?
Thanks. I’ll send it today and call you Thursday at 10 to hear what you think – does that work?
Adapt the wording to your product and your own voice. A script is a starting point, not something to read out word for word.
Make it work on a real call
- Treat it as a soft brush-off, not a buying signal. Agree first so the prospect relaxes.
- Ask one question about what the email should answer. It turns a generic send into a relevant one.
- Never hang up without a specific follow-up time. “I’ll call Thursday at 10” beats “I’ll follow up”.
