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, this is ... returning your call about the ... role.

What to cover

  1. Say who you are and which role it is about
  2. Offer the times you are available
  3. Ask how long it takes and who you will speak to
  4. Confirm the date, the time and whether it is by phone, video or in person

Worth knowing

  • Have two or three time slots ready before you call back.
  • Ask them to send a calendar invite or an email confirmation.
  • It is fine to ask what to prepare.

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.
