HELP!! Question about COLD CALLING SCRIPT!
Hi to all experienced Realtors in Philadelphia,
Do you have any specific cold calling scripts to get leads in the area? I'm trying to do some cold calls on my own and I don't have any idea how to start. Please help me. Thank you!

No recommendations for a script, but I certainly hope you're referencing the DNC list in your endeavors... otherwise you're on your way to getting sued for $500-$1500 per solicitation under the TCPA if you're not careful. One of the reasons people tend to stick to physical mailers.
That is my next question. Can I get a list in the National Do Not Call Registry to Identify which lead can I call? or Like call them and if they mention that they want to be removed and added to the DNC list then that's the time we can add it?
You're responsible for acquiring an updated copy of the national DNC list, and checking the numbers that you're cold calling against it at least once every 30 or 31 days prior to calling them. If your particular state also has their own state version of a DNC list, you'll need that, too. I'm not familiar with PA.
To be completely honest, though, you're pretty safe if you call someone on the DNC list only once within a 12 month period. Two or more times within a 12 month period, though, is when the communications become an actionable offense. Robo-calls, or AI voice calls/messages, are always a violation even on the first one.
I'm not an attorney. I'm simply someone with a lot of experience when it comes to TCPA lawsuits because there's nothing I hate more than health insurance or auto warranty companies cold calling/texting my personal phone.
Thank you for this helpful information. This is the reason why I need help with veteran Realtors. Thank you so much!
