Script text

I would love to get you in this week, but to ensure every client gets our full focus, we're actually at capacity through [Date].

[Brief pause — let that land without apologising excessively.]

What I can do is add you to our Priority Waitlist right now. If we get a cancellation, you're the first person I personally call — and that does happen more often than you'd think.

In the meantime, let's get you a guaranteed spot locked in. I have [Date 1] and [Date 2] available — which of those looks better on your end?

[Book the future appointment immediately while they're on the line.]

Perfect, I've got you in on [Confirmed Date] at [Time] with [Provider or Team Member, if applicable].

You'll receive a confirmation by [Email or Text] within the next few minutes. And if anything opens up before then, I'll reach out to you directly at [Phone Number on file] — is that still the best number for you?
