Hello my name is Roxanne and I work for Creative Business Systems, a local website development company here in Mount Vernon. This week only, we're offering free websites to local businesses. We custom build a complete seven-page website to your specifications at absolutely no charge. The only cost to you as a monthly fee of $35 to host your website on the Internet. There's no contract or annual subscription required because hosting is on a month by month basis; you can cancel at any time.

We have built websites for a number of local businesses such as Hughey's funeral home, Page insurance Company, Brumley's law offices. We have samples of our work on the Internet. Can I get you to jot down a website address and go take a peek?

I would like to come by, pick up a business card or brochure from you, take a few pictures, and we can have you live on line in no time. Would today or tommorrow be convenient?

Sales Script for Free Web Site

- Hosting $35/month
Note: Much thought has gone into this script and it is suggested that you practice so as to follow the script as closely as possible. Using the Sales Flyer as you define our special offer should help. It is designed for this purpose.

My name is.. My company Creative Business Systems builds web sites for local businesses. We were running a special offer this month only: Free web site development to select business owners. We come in, take the pictures, (show camera) collect content from any printed or advertising materials you might have, we then design and develop the web site, (includes 7 full pages, multiple graphic images and pictures and up to 500 words of text) all at no charge.
This service is valued at several hundred dollars. Do you want to know how we can do all of this for free?

Generally when people see what our web sites can do for their business by way of our free pages, they buy more. And that's what we're banking on. For example, you might want to add a shopping cart, a content management system or live video. But if not, the web site is still yours, absolutely free.
In addition to being a web site development company, we also offer affordable hosting. Our hosting plan is on a per month bases ($35/mo). This allows you to cancel services at any time. There's no yearly subscription or contract required.
Our offer also includes free business cards to advertise you new web site. You can print as many of your business cards as you like right off of your web site. You'll never have to pay for business cards again. This free Business Card offer in itself will pay for your monthly hosting.

We are trying to provide a no risk proposition to small business owners that may be a little skeptical about getting into Internet Advertising. (show portfolio)

I'm prepared to take whatever pictures you'd like to have on your web site and to take with me any printed materials you'd like to include and we'll have you live on line in no time. When can we get started.

NOTE: Many business owners already have web sites that they're not really satisfied with. The site may be unprofessional, incomplete or in need of upgrading. If they mention that they already have a web site you could say:

"To save you money we can probably replicate and improve on your existing site and then offer you a more affordable hosting package. May I ask how much you're currently paying for hosting?"

If their hosting fee is more than $35/month mention that you could have a developer review the site with the objective of rebuilding and switching hosting services.

NOTE: Please be sure they understand the hosting fee before signing on. The hosting fee is required before they go live on line at their chosen domain name. Explain that the first months hosting fee is used to register a domain name so as to get the site live on line. If they later decide against having a web site, they still own the domain name which can be used anywhere. The initial $35 therefore will not be a lost investment.

If they would like an e-mail address using their domain name, add $5 to hosting
