Six messages for a full diary. Give a new enquiry a real date, add a client to a waiting list, and offer a free slot. Answer an existing client who asks to fit in. Pass on an urgent job with a referral. Tell a new client about your higher rate. Fill in your details once at the top of this page, and every script below updates.
A full diary is good news, and it still needs a plan. A new client needs a real date. The word "soon" does not help them. An existing client needs to know where they stand.
The first three scripts cover a new enquiry, a short waiting list, and a free slot. The next one answers an existing client who asks to fit in. The last two pass on an urgent job and explain a higher rate to a new client. Fill in your details once at the top of this page, and every script below updates.
The invoice and quote generators and the printables share your name and business. The client, invoice #, amount, and due date stay in these template pages only. The generators and printables do not get them. Both sets stay on this device. We never receive anything you type here. Text still in brackets after you fill in the fields is a blank for each message. Fill it in as you send. See or clear all your saved details on the free tools page.
Subject: Thanks for getting in touch
Hi [Client name], Thanks for getting in touch with [Your business]. My diary is full at the moment. The earliest I can start is [next free date]. Let me know if that date works for you. If you need someone sooner, I understand. [Your name]
Why it works A real date lets the client choose to wait or to ask someone else. Even a rough date is better than "soon."
Hi [Client name], it's [Your name]. I've put you on my waiting list. There are [number] clients ahead of you. I'll call you when a date opens up.
Why it works The client knows how long the list is and what happens next. A place on the list needs no deposit.
Hi [Client name], it's [Your name]. A slot has opened up on [free date]. Would that work for you? Please reply by [reply-by time], then I'll offer it to the next person.
Why it works One date and a reply-by time give a simple yes or no. The list keeps moving.
Hi [Client name], thanks for asking. My diary is full, and my first free slot is [next free date]. If the job is urgent, tell me and I'll see what I can move.
Why it works You give a real date first. The client can still tell you if the job is urgent.
Hi [Client name], I can't get to this in time, and I don't want to hold you up. [Referral name and contact] often takes urgent work like this. Mention my name when you call.
Why it works A named referral gives the client help they can use right away.
Subject: Your quote for this job
Hi [Client name], Thanks for asking me to quote. The price for this job is [Amount]. The quote is valid until [Due date]. My rate for new work went up this month, because demand is high. The earliest I can start is [next free date]. [Your name]
Why it works You give the reason for the rate in one plain sentence. The client sees the price and the start date together.
