“Hi, may I speak with [Owner Name]?
Hi [Name], my name is (Agent Name) , and I’m reaching out on behalf of Side Business Chick LLC and the Built2Scale Program.
First, congratulations on recently registering your business name here in Harris County! 🎉
How’s everything going so far?”

(Let them answer — builds connection.)

QUICK PURPOSE STATEMENT (15 seconds)

Script :
“The reason I’m calling is because we specialize in helping brand-new Harris County businesses get everything they need to launch and grow — things like:

• contracts & handbooks,

• branding & websites,

• and access to a Texas workforce grant that can cover the cost of up to 12 interns for 8–16 weeks with no payroll burden to you.”

(Pause — let it land.)

PAIN-POINT HOOK (Industry-Specific OR Generic)

Assistant (generic version):
“Most new business owners tell us they need help with things like:
branding, getting clients, systems, or just extra hands to run the business.
Do any of those sound like things you might need help with right now?”

If YES → move forward
If NOT SURE → say:
“Totally understandable — that’s exactly why we offer a free meeting to show you what’s possible.”

If NO →
“No problem at all — many owners don’t realize what they qualify for until we show them what’s available.”

QUICK EXPLANATION OF THE OFFER (30 seconds)

Assistant:
“So the main thing we’re doing right now is helping new Texas businesses access a Workforce Internship Grant.
This grant can help you bring on marketing, admin, or operations interns for two to four months — and the program covers their pay.

We also help with:

• contracts & policy documents

• websites & social media

• signs, uniforms, logos

• and full business setup support

It’s a 360 service, and it’s especially designed for brand-new businesses like yours.”

SECTION 5 — TRANSITION INTO APPOINTMENT (The Goal)

Assistant:
“What we normally do is schedule a quick 15–20 minute meeting with our Program Director, Tea, so she can show you exactly what your business qualifies for and what support you can get.

It’s very straightforward and super helpful — and there’s no obligation.
What day works best for you, this week or early next week?”

SECTION 6 — APPOINTMENT SETTING OPTIONS

Assistant:
“I have openings for you on:

• [Day @ Time]
  or

• [Day @ Time]

Which works better?”

(Always give two options.)

SECTION 7 — IF THEY HESITATE / NOT READY

Assistant:
“That’s perfectly fine — we can still do a quick discovery call so Tea can show you what you qualify for, and you can decide from there.
It’s just information, and it really helps new owners understand what resources they can use.

Would morning or afternoon be easier for you?”

SECTION 8 — CONFIRMING THE APPOINTMENT

Once they choose a time:

Script:
“Perfect — I have you down for [Day, Time].
You’ll be meeting with Tea, our Program Director. She’ll go over:

• what your business qualifies for

• options for 360 business support

• workforce internship funding

• and next steps if you want the assistance.

What’s the best email so we can send your confirmation?”

SECTION 9 — CLOSE THE CALL

Script:
“Great — your confirmation will be sent shortly.
Thank you again, and congratulations on starting your business.
We’re excited to help you grow.
Have a great day!”
