The best Facebook Messenger sales scripts

When a customer sends you a Facebook message showing interest in your product, it's key to provide them with a fast response. Strike the iron while it's hot. But when you receive a hundred messages a day, some might slip through your fingers.

Well, not anymore.

By using a sales script, you can answer customer questions within one click. A sales script saves your team a lot of time and — if you do it right — also increases your sales. In this blog, you'll learn how to write a sales script, how to use it, and get inspired by some ready-to-use Facebook Messenger sales scripts.

What is a Facebook Messenger sales script?

A Facebook Messenger sales script is a pre-written message you can send to (potential) customers. They save your team time on writing the same openings lines and messages over and over again. You can think of messages that include discount codes, promotions, and so on.

How to write a sales pitch on Facebook Messenger

We hold on to a different etiquette for each communication channel. You can keep the following best practices in mind when writing a sales pitch on Facebook Messenger.

Don't push it

The purpose of sending a sales script is to increase your sales. Yet, you don't want to push your customer to buy. You should make it feel like you're doing them a favor by sharing this message.

For example:

✅ "I wanted to let you know that we currently have a 15% discount on all clothes."

❌ "Shop now with 15% off!"

It's so interesting what words can do. The first example comes across as nice and thoughtful, while the second one could pass for an ad.

Keep it short

I'll be honest with you. When I receive a long paragraph of text via Facebook Messenger, I don't take the time to read it. Eventually, I even forget about it and the message will get lost in my inbox.

Keep in mind that you're sending a Facebook message, not an email. If you send a short message, it will be easier for your customer to digest what you're saying and send a reply.

Give it a human touch

A script can sound very robotic very quickly. That's why you should give your copy a human touch. Use, for example, emojis to convey emotion. Also, try to end your message with a question or an action point. This will make your script feel like a conversation starter instead of an automated message.

How to use Facebook Messenger sales scripts

You can send a Facebook Messenger sales script in either two ways: manually or automatically.

If you would like to send out Facebook Messenger sales scripts manually, you can do this by creating quick replies. Quick replies allow you to insert messages into your chat conversations with one click or a keyboard shortcut.

To automatically send out sales scripts, you’ll have to use a chatbot. When customers mention specific keywords, the bot will be triggered to send the script.
