*drop tonality*
(anchor)
I had to desgin a pitch for tomorrow for my final day of training and I've snuck in some subliminal messages to help me get more sign ups :L
Phase one: Setting the Frame
Hi how are you today?(smile)
My name is Debiruman665
(SHOW ID BADGE)
You may have seen us in your street today, we are running a campaign in your local area on behalf of Cuk.
###The person at this point is probably thinking OMG how long do I have to listen to this guy
We have a lot of doors to visit so I promise I won't take up too much of your time
##created a time constraint to make the person feel more comfortable
We are out here to *raise awareness*
It is your choice to *donate, now* SORRY! I didn't catch your name?
## heheh I'm pretty proud of that one lol
So is it just you living here?
##This comes into play later
Ah so theres "X amount" (do hand signal with fingers demonstrating how many) of people living here, do you get on well?
##Anchoring the recognition of counting their family members to the hand signal
So what do you do with yourself round here to have fun?
##most people will struggle to answer on the spot but thats ok even if they do answer because it will be a positive thought
So your just a normal (touch chest) guy/girl?
##creates anchor of being normal/ average and being the same as me by my pointing at myself
What about the public(touch chest) swimming baths? I love swimming
##further anchors the word public, plus the fluff talk lulls them into a false sense of security
Phase 2: The grabber
Did you know 1 in people( do the hand signal from before) at some point in their lives will be diagnosed with some form of cancer?
##The anchor from before makes them compare this information with thinking about the number of their family members
I didn't know that till I started doing this either, I found it pretty shocking
##Further creates rapport and reinforces the desired effect
Phase 3: Problem and Solution
A survey was done and it was found that cancer is the number one fear for the british public(touch chest), topping the list over Alzheimers, Heart attacks and even... Terrorism
##I know I'm a ruthless bastard but my facts are correct Cool, Plus terrorism is already a trance word associated with horror
But dont worry I'm not here to ruin your day (smile)
##the pressuposition is that I am here to make it better
Thanks to the fantastic work that Cuk have done we(touch chest) have managed to reduce the death rate by a massive 12% in the last 10 years but as you can understand we(touch chest) still have an enormous amount of work to do to beat this, so you can see the situation is urgent can't you?
(nod with them)
Phase 4: Build up
Fantastic!(smile) To continue the great work we(touch chest) are doing Cuk spends £1 million per day and is almost entirely funded by the public(touch chest) I dont suppose you have a spare million in your basement?
##Yes you are paying for it you just dont know it yet
No?
Well thats ok neither do your neighbours! However we have had a fantastic response from your neighbours who are chipping in really small amounts such as pint of beer, sandwich, train ticket, a big mac (count these up on your fingers totally deadpan and serious) from their weekly shopping budget.
##If the person was starting to nod off there that should get their attention again but you just move on anyway like they were supposed to understand lol, remember about creating altered states?
It's not a lot of money is it?
##Those items aren't really that expensive and fall within the price range of what I want a week from them
Phase 5: The Close
I'm sure I can count on your support as well!
##Say this like they have allready signed up any trying to get out of siging up will be hit with
We are out here to *raise awareness*
It is your choice to *donate, now* so all we need to do is complete the form...
Hope you guys have fun disecting this if you can think of any problems or improvements I'd love to know. _________________ the presupposition in this signiture is that there is a presupposition

i have exactly the same job as you and I just started it myself.
thankfully, there is no trial period, and I can develop at a nice and relaxed pace
Here's my pitch, which I quickly put together a few days ago:
Me: Hello, I'm David, a Representative of X, Have you had a nice afternoon?
Him: Yes/No
Me: First Impressions tell me that you're a very friendly and charitable person. (labeling technique)
Me: What do you know about the charity?
Him: blah, blah, blah
Me: Many of your neighbors have appreciated the good work that the charity has done for the community and have been very eager to give back. I would like to invite you to join the countless other people in the community who have signed up to our lottery service. (this technique incorporates reciprocity and social proof)|
This is basically my pitch so far which I have been trying on people, but I intend to add to it in the coming days and weeks as I develop a better intuition and understanding of my audience.
Keep me updated on your progress, _________________ John Creases had 752 rejections before he became a successful Writer.

(foot in door technique)
So from what I've told you, do you like the sound of the charity? would you be willing to tell your friends and family about the charity, to widen it's popularity and appeal throughout the community?
Yes
Well, a lot of people do this by signing up to our lottery service. Most people like yourself like to pay weekly, but you can choose to pay quarterly, six-monthly or annually for your own convenience. Which way would suit you best?

You can use a yes ladder at the beginning of the pitch to achieve an agreeable frame:
Have you had a nice day? - yes
Are you looking forward to the weekend - yes
is this area as nice as it seems - yes
will you be willing to listen to me - yes
Etc. _________________ John Creases had 752 rejections before he became a successful Writer.

If you definitely want to sign up to this charity, how much will you donate?
You want to sign up, because you seem quite intelligent? (presented in the tone of a question)
the charity relies on generous people like you to help it through this recession (labeling technique no. 2) _________________ John Creases had 752 rejections before he became a successful Writer.
