## Summary
Create standardised phone call scripts for customer service teams — covering call openings, greetings, and closures — with placeholders for personalisation. Trigger when setting up or refreshing your team's call language.

## When to use this

You're a customer service manager at a retail store (or similar business) and you want every agent to start and end calls consistently — sounding professional and welcoming — while still being able to personalise the conversation with customer details. You need a script that can be printed, pasted into a wiki, or read from a screen during training.

## What you'll get

A set of ready-to-use phone scripts covering: call opening (how agents introduce themselves), standard greeting language, and call closure (how to wrap up professionally) — with clearly marked placeholders for customer names and other details.

## Prompt template

Use this in the **Gemini app**:

```
I am a [customer service manager]. Create standardised language for phone calls — templates for common call openings, greetings, and closures for a [retail store / business type]. Allow personalisation with customer details while ensuring consistency and professionalism.
```

**Fill in the variables:**
- `[customer service manager]` — your role (e.g. "customer service manager", "head of support", "operations lead")
- `[retail store / business type]` — your business context (e.g. "online fashion retailer", "SaaS helpdesk", "home appliance store", "B2B software company")

## Customisation tips

- Add your brand personality: *"Our brand tone is warm and approachable — avoid formal language like 'Good day, how may I assist you'"*
- Specify the call types: *"Create separate closures for resolved calls, unresolved calls, and calls that require a follow-up"*
- Add compliance language: *"Include a standard call recording consent notice at the opening"*
- Request a table format: *"Present the scripts in a two-column table: situation | script text"*

## Iteration suggestions

After Gemini responds:
1. **Embed scripts in training** → use `customer-service-training-guide` to include these scripts in new hire onboarding material
2. **Add written equivalents** → use `customer-communication-templates` to create matching email templates for the same scenarios
3. **Role-play with the scripts** → paste a script into a Gemini conversation and ask it to play the customer to practice handling objections
