How a High-Performing Hiring Manager Makes Contact With a Referral

Tracy Dunne of Comey and Shepherd recently shared a phone script she uses to connect with competitive agents who are referred to her.

Hi Sarah!

This is Tracy Dunne from Comey and Shepherd. Each week I ask one of my agents who they’ve recently connected with that displays an exceptional level of professionalism and seems to align with how our company does business.

This week I was chatting with Anne Smith and she said: “You should reach out to Sarah Hyland she’s the best agent I’ve worked with this year.”

So, I wanted to connect with you and share how highly regarded you are by your peers and thank you for being the kind of agent that makes our industry look good!

When you have a minute, please give me a call back. I promise it won’t be a hard-core recruiting call–just a professional connection to someone who admires the work you’re doing.

When she catches an agent live, this script sets the tone of a respectful and mutually beneficial conversation.

And when she leaves a voicemail with this script, she gets a high percentage of callbacks.

Try it out and see if you’re able to engage more prospects.

Recruiting starts with a conversation. Conversations lead to appointments. Appointments lead to hires.

Tracy: Thanks for sharing your expertise with the rest of the Insight readers.
