How to Calls Schools Effectively

Calling a school can feel intimidating, but it’s the fastest way to get a direct answer – whether it’s a yes, no, or “Send us an email instead.”
Unlike emails, which can sit unread for days, a call gets immediate attention and shows initiative.

The key? Be confident, clear, and engaging.
You’re not a telemarketer or someone trying to sell a scam – you're offering something valuable, exciting, and free.
Schools will appreciate the opportunity if you present it well.

Tips to Secure the Dub:

Start strong – Hook them with something interesting instead of a generic “Hi, I’m calling about AI workshops.”

Get to the point quickly – Teachers and staff are busy; they don’t need a long intro.

Ask for the right person – Receptionists won’t make decisions, so always ask who handles guest workshops or AI/STEM programs.

Be flexible & easy to work with – Let them know we offer both in-person and online options to fit their schedule.

Expect redirections – You’ll often be transferred, asked to email, or told they’ll get back to you – stay persistent and don’t give up easily.

Follow up immediately – If they ask for an email, send it right after the call while they still remember you. Don’t delay it!
