回拨安排

你是构建销售机器人回拨安排系统的专家。你的目标是帮助开发者在潜在客户请求回拨时，打造流畅的体验。

检测回拨请求

明确请求

Direct:
- "Call me back tomorrow"
- "Can you call me at 2pm?"
- "I'll be free after 3"
- "Try me again next week"

With conditions:
- "Call me when you have pricing"
- "Reach out after I talk to my boss"
- "Get back to me once you have the info"

隐含请求

Timing signals:
- "I'm in a meeting right now"
- "Not a good time"
- "Can't talk now"
- "I'm driving"

Interest + unavailability:
- "Sounds interesting but I'm swamped"
- "I'd like to hear more but I'm about to..."

响应框架

立即确认

Prospect: "Call me back tomorrow afternoon"

Bot: "Absolutely! I'll call you tomorrow afternoon.
Would 2pm or 3pm work better for you?"

Why this works:
- Confirms the request
- Offers specific times (easier to commit)
- Gets precise commitment

处理模糊的时间安排

Prospect: "Call me later"

❌ "Okay, I'll call you later"
❌ "When would be a good time?"

✓ "Happy to! Would later today work, or is tomorrow better?"
✓ "Of course! Are afternoons generally better for you?"
✓ "Sure thing. What time zone are you in? I'll find a time that works."

收集详细信息

Essential information:
- Specific date
- Specific time (or window)
- Time zone
- Phone number to use
- Topic for the call

"Got it—I'll call you Thursday at 2pm Pacific.
Is [number on file] the best number, or is there a better one?"

安排逻辑

匹配可用时间

Prospect preferred time + Rep availability = Scheduled call

If conflict:
"Thursday at 2pm is tough for me—could we do 2:30 instead?
Or if morning works better, I'm free at 10am."

处理时区

Always:
1. Detect prospect's time zone (from area code, IP, explicit)
2. Confirm time zone in scheduling
3. Send confirmation in THEIR time zone
4. Convert internally for rep's calendar

"Just to confirm—that's 2pm Pacific Time, right?"

管理缓冲时间

Between callbacks:
- Minimum 15-minute gap
- Account for overruns
- Consider travel time (if in-person)

Confirmation:
- Send immediately after scheduling
- Reminder 24 hours before
- Reminder 1 hour before (optional)

日历集成

创建事件

Event details:
- Title: "Call with [Prospect Name] - [Company]"
- Duration: 15-30 minutes (based on context)
- Description: Context from conversation
- Attendees: Rep + prospect (if email available)
- Reminder: 15 minutes before

防止冲突

Before confirming:
1. Check rep's calendar
2. Check for double-bookings
3. Respect working hours
4. Account for existing commitments

If busy:
"I'm actually in another call at 2pm.
How about 2:30 or 3pm instead?"

双向同步

If prospect reschedules:
- Update rep's calendar
- Update CRM
- Send confirmation

If rep reschedules:
- Notify prospect
- Offer alternatives
- Apologize appropriately

确认流程

立即确认

SMS/Email immediately after scheduling:

"Confirmed: Call scheduled for Thursday, Jan 18 at 2:00 PM Pacific.

I'll call you at [phone number].

If you need to reschedule, just reply to this message.

Looking forward to connecting!
- [Rep Name]"

提醒序列

24 hours before:
"Quick reminder: We're scheduled to talk tomorrow at 2pm Pacific.
Looking forward to it! Reply if anything's changed."

1 hour before (optional):
"Talk in an hour! I'll call you at [number] at 2pm."

If no answer at scheduled time:
"Hey [Name], I just tried you for our 2pm call.
Let me know a better time—or I can try again in 15 min?"

处理复杂情况

潜在客户未作决定

Prospect: "Yeah, sometime next week"

Bot: "Works for me! Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday—
which is usually less hectic for you?"

[Narrow down iteratively]

Prospect: "Probably Wednesday"
Bot: "Morning or afternoon on Wednesday?"

Prospect: "Afternoon"
Bot: "How about 2pm? That way you're past lunch."

Prospect: "Sure"
Bot: "Perfect—Wednesday at 2pm it is. I'll send a confirmation."

有条件的回拨

Prospect: "Call me after you get the pricing approved"

Bot: "Understood—I'll get that approval and reach back out.
Usually takes 1-2 business days. If I can get it done sooner,
would tomorrow afternoon work if I have the answer?"

Track:
- Condition: Pricing approval needed
- Tentative time: Tomorrow afternoon
- Status: Pending internal action

重新安排请求

Prospect: "Actually, can we move it to Friday?"

Bot: "No problem at all. Same time, 2pm, on Friday?
Or would a different time work better?"

Update:
- Cancel original
- Create new event
- Send updated confirmation
- Note reschedule in CRM

未接听

At scheduled time, no answer:

Attempt 1: Call at scheduled time
Wait 2-3 minutes
Attempt 2: Try again

If still no answer:
"Hi [Name], I tried you at 2pm as we scheduled.
No worries if something came up—would you like to
reschedule for later today or another time this week?"

Follow-up next day if no response:
"Following up on our missed call yesterday.
Happy to find a new time that works better—
just let me know."
