Put it in your mind that even the best scripts cannot sound
perfect, practice and utilize the script until you sound spontaneous and
natural. Do not change the script. The problem maybe in how you deliver the
script. Make it a habit, deliver your script and record it then listen to it
afterwards.

calling scripts. The jokes of a comedian are often delivered in a
spontaneous way, making it funnier. A comedian can make it look so spontaneous
and natural. The comedians spent hours in practicing their script to make it
sound as spontaneous as possible.
Comedians and cold callers have the same quality, they
practice their way to success. Practice each word and deliver it with passion. Failure
once in a while is natural in most cold callers. If you want to be a successful
cold caller, rehearsal and practice will help you reach the top. The best
tactic is to fail a few times or not to fail at all. The script and the
delivery that have caused you to fail should be thrown in the garbage by the
time it fail and make sure to never use it again.
When you are still an amateur, craft new scripts as a habit
until it comes naturally because at first it might feel awkward and artless. If
you are a newbie, it is understandable that you feel that way. Learn through
your experience, it will help you in reaching your success. Words can be messy
if you are still a newbie. But as you go along the way, your script and
practice will make you sound effortless and natural.
