PHONE CALL SCRIPT IDEAS
to get leaders to Service Unit meetings

It’s a known fact that volunteers have a positive response to a phone call. A personal phone call can be a start to building volunteers retention.  It is also something that many of us are intimidated by. To help you with your phone calls, here are a couple of sample scripts:

Hi!  this is	,  I’m your (enter your GS team position here) from (Service Unit name). I wondered if you received notice of our upcoming service unit meeting. (She says yes).  Good!  Thank you for your time and I will be looking forward to seeing you at our service unit meeting. 

If she said that she did not receive the email notification.
I’m sorry to hear that you did not know about the upcoming service unit meeting. Please consider this phone call as your personal invitation to the service unit meeting. Our service unit meets on the (date & time & location). We have lots of things to share with you about the service unit and how we can be your support for the coming Girl Scout year. 
I would like to verify your email address so that we can make sure to have you on our distribution list.
Thank you for your time and I look forward to seeing you at our upcoming service unit meeting.

If she is unable to attend.
I’m sorry that you can’t make the upcoming service unit meeting. Since you can’t make it to the meeting, I suggest that you send someone to represent your troop. This is great opportunity for you to get some parental involvement. The parent come to the meeting and get all the information about any of the service unit events and or happenings and report it back to the troop. The service unit have a team of volunteers that can help you with programs for your girls. Each month we will be focusing on a different subject matter to help you with your troop, this month we will be talking about (monthly subject matter). 
Thank you for your time and I look forward to seeing your troop’s representative at our upcoming service unit meeting.
