The ESL Sample Script
Here’s an example of a completed ESL. It’s targeted to companies who sell payroll systems.
Hi Joe,
I thought I’d reach out because we recently worked with a fellow payroll company called ADP and they discovered an interesting way to drive more revenue during “the slow season” in Q1.
I’ve found that a lot of payroll Sales Reps are frustrated that they can’t ecure enough appointments this time of year because prospects are done evaluating their payroll system. To help with this, we created a unique prospecting tool that finds companies who are still open to changing vendors and then it connects you with them. Best of all, this doesn’t require you to use an agency and can all be done in-house to keep your costs low.
If you’d like to hear more about how this works, just send me a quick reply and I’d be happy to forward an overview to you. Otherwise, if there’s someone else I should send this to instead, please let me know the best person.
