Telephone copy is written so that it works for speaking, which results in a ton of things that work for the text being ruled out. It has no subordinate clauses. Phone copy cannot have words/phrases that the caller will have to think about before saying. The sentences have to be short enough that the caller can finish the sentence before they run out of breath.
The other half of the job is working the routes. Most calls do not get through to the person you dialed. A script needs to account for this. That means you have to anticipate calls needing to get past gatekeepers, calls that will go to voicemail, and callbacks that two days later come from an unfamiliar, random number.
The decision you make in the first eight seconds is a commercial, not a stylistic, decision. Brand yourself by saying your company name, and you’ll come across as a vendor. Lead with a question and you’ll come across as someone running a survey. The right opening depends on who has listened to your calls and what their instincts are about what beats a reflex and what is safe to say on a recorded line.
Phone scripts written for Chorus will be read and understood by the caller, but sound scripted and artificial. Sentences often have two clauses and a qualifier that makes the caller run out of breath or worse, sounds like a telephone book. Gatekeepers and voicemails will have no use for these calls.
A writer listens to 20-30 voicemails and records the time people disengage. Next, the script is drafted and read aloud. Any words that need to be cut are identified by hesitation in the reading. Last, your compliance wording is placed in the least disruptive position.
Every script is read aloud at delivery pace before it leaves us, to account for timing with breath constraints. We hide silent reading constraints. Any claim that requires the compliance team’s approval is flagged, rather than being silently written around. The lines that need to be read verbatim on a recorded line are marked.
One rate, whatever the format: $10 per 100 words. You are paying for the writer’s time and judgement, so the price scales with the words rather than with a package tier.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Short (3 min) | 450 | $45 | $0.45 | $45.45 |
| Standard (10 min) | 1,400 | $140 | $1.40 | $141.40 |
| Long (30 min) | 4,200 | $420 | $4.20 | $424.20 |

Up to 3 days. The writer has to read around the subject before writing it, so we quote honestly rather than promising an hour. If your deadline is tighter, say so in the brief and we will tell you before you pay whether we can meet it.
We will mark this verbatim and place it in the script spot that costs you the least issues. Note that we’re not compliance advisers. Please have your own licenced counsel confirm the wording for your industry and jurisdiction prior to using the script in your market.
Yes, as standard. Most dials end at one of those two, so a script covering only the decision-maker conversation misses where the time actually goes. Voicemails get written at around fifteen seconds, which is shorter than most teams expect.

We threw away seven slides, and the traction numbers moved to slide three. Our first investor meeting after the change lasted twenty minutes longer than scheduled because the investors weren’t waiting for us to finish and were actually interested in what we were saying. You can figure it out from there.
I’ve seen a lot of one-pagers that somehow stretch to three pages. This is one page. It’s got eleven point font with a whole lot of blank space. The writer asked about what our reps are being asked in the first ninety seconds of a call and built the sheet around those four questions. No account to set up either, which suits our purchasing regulations.
I included around 900 words of my custom copy as a foundation. In return, I received back around 500 words and the description was more drawn out. The section describing pricing, which previously was rather vague, was replaced with a single, firm sentence. We shipped this variation the same week. The least interesting line on the invoice is undoubtedly the one percent add-on.
