🖋️ Formatting Rules

Line Marking

Scripted lines that must be delivered exactly require specific formatting:

~ "This is an exact script line that the AI will say word for word"

Note: The ~ symbol tells the AI this line must be delivered exactly as written.

Response Waiting Points

After each scripted line where you expect prospect input, include:

*Wait for prospect's response*

Branching Logic

Format conditional branches as follows:

[BRANCH: If prospect says X]
~ "Here is the response for situation X"

[BRANCH: If prospect says Y]
~ "Here is the response for situation Y"

Number Formatting

Always write numbers in word form:

✅ Correct: “fifty thousand dollars”
❌ Incorrect: “$50,000”

💬 Script Example

Here’s a properly formatted script segment:

## INITIAL GREETING
~ "Hi, this is Sarah from [[company_name]] Voice AI. How's your day going?"
*Wait for prospect's response*

[BRANCH: If positive response]
~ "That's great to hear! I'm reaching out because..."

[BRANCH: If negative response]
~ "I hear you. I'll keep this brief. I'm reaching out because..."

## QUALIFICATION
~ "I noticed you were looking into voice AI solutions. What sparked your interest?"
*Wait for prospect's response*

🧠 Objection Handling

## OBJECTION HANDLING
[If prospect says "too expensive"]
~ "I understand cost is important. Actually, most of our clients see ROI within thirty days because..."

🔁 Transfer Protocols

## TRANSFER PROTOCOL
~ "I'm going to connect you with our solutions team. Please stay on the line while I transfer you."
*Initiate transfer to department X*

⚙️ Technical Requirements

File Format

Submit scripts in plain text or markdown

Use consistent indentation

Include clear section breaks

Character Limits

Keep individual lines under 200 characters

Break longer statements into multiple lines

Special Characters

Use only approved markers (~ for exact lines)

💡 Best Practices

Keep Sentences Conversational

Write how people speak, not how they write

Use contractions (e.g., “I’m” instead of “I am”)

Include natural speech patterns (e.g., “um,” “you know”)

Include Context Markers

Help the AI understand the purpose of each section

Provide clear guidance for tone and delivery

🧩 Custom Variables

Variable	Description
`{{agentName}}`	Agent Name
`{{companyName}}`	Company Name
`{{industry}}`	Industry
`{{firstName}}`	First Name
`{{lastName}}`	Last Name
`{{fullName}}`	Full Name

🧪 Testing Your Script

Before implementing your script:

Read it aloud to ensure natural flow

Verify all branches lead somewhere

Confirm all required elements are marked with ~

Check that numbers are written in word form

Ensure all major objections have handling paths

🚫 Common Mistakes to Avoid

Missing Response Wait Points

Always include *Wait for prospect's response* after questions

Don’t stack multiple questions without wait points

Unclear Branching Logic

Specify exact conditions for each branch

Provide clear guidance for returning to main script

Inconsistent Formatting

Always use quotation marks for exact script lines

Maintain consistent spacing and section marking
