Thank you, I'm now in the process of outsourcing on freelancer the 500 businesses to call.
How's this for a script?
Hey, Could I please speak to your director? I'm an entrepreneur in your industry trying to find out how I can help businesses like yours? (get past gate keeper hopefully)
Me: Hi My name's Luke, I'm an entrepreneur trying to find problems to fix in your Industry, I wanted to ask what is your businesses most pressing problem your trying to solve at the moment?
They talk: -
Me: Okay thank you, If I am able to come up with a solution for your problem would you be open to hearing more about it down the line?
They talk-
Ok thank you I'll be in touch.
*hang up*
The businesses your calling for the most part wont have directors. Here is the script:
Him/her - "This is Jessica with XYZ company, how can I help you?"
You - "Yes Jessica, can i speak to one of your managers please." - Not a question, its a statement.
Him/her - "Sure, what is this in regard to?"
You - "It's actually a personal matter"
Him/her - "Ok, can I have your name please?"
You - "Sure, my name is John"
Him/her - "Ok, one second"
Manager - "Hello? This is Tim, who am i speaking with?"
You - "Yes Tim, this is John, the reason for the call today, I work with several consultants and I was reaching out to you to see if we might be able to solve some of your most pressing day to day problems in your business. Do you have a second to speak?"
From there just go into having a conversation about specifics of his issues on a day to day basis.
With the gatekeeper, you don't want to identify yourself too much and you especially don't want to sound like some college drop out entrepreneur.
