What to Say When You Call

Write out the first sentence now, so you do not have to find words in a hard moment.

Purpose: Write out the first sentence now, so you do not have to find words in a hard moment.

When to use: Use this before you call someone, or ahead of time so it is ready and waiting.

Worksheet prompts

  1. Write your first sentence. Plain and short.
    I am having a really hard night and I did not want to be on my own.
  2. What do you want from this call? Put it in one line.
    Company. A ride. Someone to stay on the phone while I fall asleep.
  3. What is the hardest part of calling?
  4. If they do not pick up, who is next? Write the name and number here.

You only have to get the first sentence out. The rest of it comes easier.
