TEAM SCRIPT PLAYBOOK
Craigslist Texting Scripts
Word-for-word messages for texting and calling your Craigslist leads. Follow the big numbers in order, copy the message, and send.
1. Follow the numbers
Each big number is the next message in the conversation. Wait for their reply before you move to the next one.
2. Pick one option
When a step shows Option A, B or C, choose the one that fits the moment and send just that one.
3. Make it personal
Replace anything in [brackets], like [Name], with the real details before you hit send.
Copying a script? Paste it as plain text so the dark background doesn't come with it.
Windows: Ctrl + Shift + V · Mac: Cmd + Shift + Option + V · Gmail: right-click and choose Paste as plain text
Keep These Numbers Handy
On your phone, tap a number to dial it.
FOR PEOPLE YOU ALREADY KNOW
Warm List Script
Send this to friends, family and past contacts. Put their name where you see [Name].
So the opportunity where you post ads on Craigslist allows you to pull people through 3 recorded calls (no sales) and earn $70 per person and $10 residuals per month per each person / 90% retention rate.
You just have to say hello to each prospect for five minutes and share a very short message with them and get them on the 20 min call that does all the selling for you.
What do you think of that, [Name]? Is that something you don't mind doing in your spare time?
THE TEXT CONVERSATION
New Craigslist Leads
Use these when someone texts you about your Craigslist ad. Work through steps 1 to 8, then move on to the phone calls.
1
Say hello and get their name
Your first reply when a new lead texts you. Pick one.
OPTION A
Oh hi! 👋 What's your name and email by the way so I can send you more info. My name is Albie…
OPTION B
Oh hi! 👋 So nice to meet you. How's your day going?
Oh… and what's your email by the way so I can send you more info.
OPTION C
So nice to meet you.
Hope you're having a nice day! 😀
OPTION D
Are you texting about the Craigslist ad?
OPTION E
You did text me about the Craigslist ad, right?
OPTION F: IF THEY WON'T SHARE THEIR NAME
I only interview those who I can address by name… if you're not comfortable with that, then this probably isn't for you.
2
Welcome them by name
Send this once they tell you their name.
So nice to meet you, [Name].
Hope you're having a nice day! 😀
3
Share your story
This tells them who you are and sets the right expectations. Swap in your own story if yours is different.
So I know you're looking for something part-time or full-time, and I want to make sure this is truly the right fit for you.
The work itself is simple, just a bit of texting and light conversation. No sales.
One thing that matters to me, though, is that we're on the same page mindset-wise. I'm only looking to work with people who feel genuinely excited about earning this way.
Here's a little of my own story. I was a kindergarten teacher for 20 years. I loved it, but in 2012, our school lost its funding and I lost my job.
That's when I decided to work for myself. Around that time, my mentor asked me a question that stuck with me. He said, "Albie, do you want to work for money your whole life, like most people do? Or do you want to flip that around and do what the wealthy do: start making your money work for you?"
It hit me, because up to that point I'd spent most of my life working for a paycheck. But once I saw a way to be my own boss, set my own hours, and earn monthly residual income from work I'd already done, I never looked back.
So, what are your thoughts?
4
Talk about mindset
Send the main message after they reply to your story. Then use the follow-up that fits their answer.
MAIN MESSAGE
I love your feedback on this, [Name]. ⭐️
So it's really important that you understand that this isn't a job. It's a way to finally start making your money work for you instead of making someone else rich with your time and energy (what I call being leveraged by others).
You have the ability to own your own business for the cost of a bag of groceries and start earning residual income that pays you every month (without YOU having to work hard for it). Does it take work to get this moving? Yes it does, as all honest work does.
This is leverage and you can have it instead of giving it away to someone else. So you can make YOUR money work for you instead of the other way round. This is really important to understand before we continue. If you're on the same page with this, then I would love to share more.
QUICK REPLY
Wow, that's cool, [Name].
IF THEY JUST WANT MORE INFO
I definitely don't mind sharing more. But tell me where you're at with this mindset first. I'm not looking for everyone. Just those who are on the same page.
IF THEY'RE UNSURE ABOUT SPENDING MONEY
Have you ever seen anyone make their money work for them without using their own money? It's interesting how people feel that using their money is a bad idea but would rather be used and leveraged by the owner of the company they work for, who's using his money. You know! 😊
IF THEY ARE NOT SURE
So I'm curious what your thoughts are about flipping the equation to make your money work for you instead of being held hostage to a job our whole lives?
5
Offer the 2 minute info call
That's awesome, [Name]. So if I send you a 2 min info call, will you listen to that real quick and we can get on a call for a couple mins and I can explain further?

Send this as one text right after you email them the 2 minute call.

Remind them to check spam
You might also want to check your spam or promotions folder, as sometimes Gmail does that… check "this isn't spam" if so…
8
Ask for a quick phone chat
Once they've listened, get them on the phone. Pick one.
OPTION A
Wow, that's cool. So do you have two mins to chat really quick and I can go over a few things with you?
OPTION B
Ok perfect. So if I send you information, do you have 30 mins to review everything and, if you like it, chat for a few mins on the phone afterwards?
OPTION C
I just got off the phone, but if you like I have a few mins to chat real quick?
