A line to open with

you

hi, i'm calling about the apartment on ... is it still available?

What to cover

  1. Ask whether it is still available
  2. Ask the rent and what it includes
  3. Ask when you can view it
  4. Give your name and number

Worth knowing

  • Have the listing open so you can name the address.
  • Ask your must-know question first, in case the call is short.
  • Note the name of the person you spoke to.

Rehearse it once first

This call is not one of murmur's built-in scenarios, so write it as your own: say who answers and what you want from the call, and murmur plays the other side. Afterwards you see which goals you hit.
