When you’re following up with clients, it can be a whole lot easier if you have a starting place for the conversation, rather than just freestyling. These bite-sized scripts are designed to spark productive dialogues, whether you use them as thought starters or as the basis for your conversations.

But remember: Even in the quickest client interactions, you want to strive to create real personal connections. Be sure to take note of details of your prospect’s life and situation, and share freely of your own. Even the simplest of connections made today can turn into fruitful future relationships.
