Transforming the way the phone is answered Examples from call script Many callers are already sold on the program, in which case moving them to the next stage of the funnel quickly may be appropriate, or reflecting back on their concerns and allowing them to state why they chose to contact Sierra. TRUST is biggest issue at this stage. Will treatment be effective? Letting people know that we are here and care regardless if they are ready or not. If client was referred, trust is more likely than if they found us online. Use value prop here: we have been in business over 30 years It is what sets CRC apart from other programs and organizations
