Script 2.
“Wow, you’re a sharp person. Do you keep your career options open?”
“Wow, you’re a sharp person. What kind of work are you in?”
“I’ve enjoyed dealing with you & appreciate your service. Have you ever thought about moving
into working for yourself?”
“You’re one of the most intelligent people I’ve known over the years & could use your opinion
on something.”
“I’ve always noticed how open-minded you are about new ideas & would like to run something
by you. ”
“I’m looking at a new business & since you’re already a successful businessperson I’d love if it
you’d give me your take on it.”
“I know you’re ‘business smart’ and can find the holes in any opportunity. Can I discuss an
opportunity I’m looking at with you?”
“I’ve always admired how sharp you are & how you seem to see what others don’t.”
If you get a no, it’s very important to stay positive, be yourself and be emotionally detached. A
no means that the timing is not right and you will follow up later.
