Trade
Situation
Your script
Thanks for calling [your company] — this is [your name]. How can I help?

[Let them explain, then:]

Got it, I can definitely help with your heating and cooling. Let me grab a few quick details so I can get someone out to you.

• Can I get your name and the service address?
• Best number to reach you — is this one good?
• What are you seeing, and how long has it been going on?

Okay [first name], here’s what I’d recommend: we’ll send a tech out to take a look. Our next opening is [day] between [time window]. The visit is [$ price], and that goes toward the work if you move forward.

Does [day] work, or would [other day] be better?

Perfect — you’re booked for [day] at [time]. I’ll text you a confirmation right now so you’ve got it in writing. If anything changes, just reply to that text. Thanks for calling [your company], [first name] — we’ll see you then.

Keep the [bracketed] bits as blanks — fill them in live on each call.

Tip: Book the appointment on the first call — don’t hang up with “we’ll call you back.” The shop that schedules first usually keeps the job.

A script only helps if you catch the call in the first place. FieldLine records and transcribes every call, texts back the ones you miss, and turns each into a lead card with the number and the job — so no lead slips while you’re on a roof. From $28/mo.

Questions

Working the phones

What should I say when a new customer calls my business?

Open with your company name and your name, find out what they need, then get the details you need to book: name, address, best callback number, and what’s going on. The single most important move is to schedule the appointment on that first call instead of promising to call back — the shop that books first usually wins the job. This generator gives you a full inbound-call script you can read almost word for word.

How do I text a customer back after a missed call?

Reply fast, apologize for missing them, confirm what they need, and offer two specific appointment windows so it’s easy to say yes. Speed is everything — the first business to respond to a missed lead usually gets the work. Pick “You missed their call” above and switch the format to Text message for a ready-to-send version.

Are these scripts free? Do I need to sign up?

Completely free and no signup — pick your trade, situation, and format, fill in your business name, and copy the script. Nothing is stored; everything runs in your browser.

What’s the difference between a script and call tracking?

A script helps you handle the call well; call tracking makes sure you catch the call and know where it came from. They work together. FieldLine records and transcribes every call, texts back the ones you miss, and turns each into a lead card — so the scripts here always have a call to be used on.
