Before a call: the scenario 'ask boss for time off' with three things to try, while the call connects

A line to open with

you

hi, i have an appointment on ... and i need to move it.

What to cover

  1. Give your name and the appointment you have
  2. Say you need a different time
  3. Offer two options that work for you
  4. Confirm the new date and time

Worth knowing

  • You don't have to give a reason. Needing a different time is enough.
  • Call as early as you can. More notice means more free slots.
  • Write the new time down while you are still on the line.

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.
