Can I add the brush-offs I actually hear?

Yes. Add them under More options.

Is it only for cold calls?

Example: the finished prompt

For a sample company, Northside Supply. Yours uses your answers and your company profile.

Show the example prompt

<context>
My name: Sam Rivera
My role: Sales manager
My company: Northside Supply
What we do: Commercial shelving and racking, installed in 2–3 weeks
Who we sell to: Warehouses and distribution centers
</context>

<task>
Write a phone script to call Dana Lopez, operations manager at Harbor Foods. The goal is to book a meeting.
Why them, why now: They just opened a second location.
</task>

<rules>
- Tone: friendly and warm, but professional.
- Write like a real person in sales, not a marketer or a robot.
- No filler openers such as "I hope this email finds you well" or "I wanted to reach out".
- No buzzwords: avoid "leverage", "synergy", "circle back", "touch base", "unlock", "streamline", "game-changer".
- Short sentences. Plain words. Get to the point in the first line.
- My notes may be rough or have typos. Fix spelling and grammar, but keep my meaning.
- Use only facts I give you, in this prompt or in anything I paste or point you to. If something important is missing, put a [placeholder] in brackets instead of making it up.
- Write it to be said out loud: short lines, natural words, contractions.
- Opener under 20 seconds. Say who you are, why you're calling them, then ask one question.
- No "Did I catch you at a bad time?" and no "How are you today?"
- Words to avoid: Partner, solution
</rules>

<output>
- The opener.
</output>

Why this prompt works

Scripts fail when they sound read. This one is written to be spoken: short lines, one question, and a real reason you're calling this person.

The opener gets to why you're calling them in under 20 seconds.
Brush-off answers stay respectful and end with a question, so the call doesn't stop there.
The voicemail gives one specific reason to call back, not a pitch.
