AI prompt to script for common service calls

Fast, accurate answers to everyday requests keep clients loyal and free up staff time. AI helps write replies, scripts and templates, and chat or phone AI tools can handle routine requests around the clock.

Below is a ready-to-copy prompt to script for common service calls, a detailed version that asks you clarifying questions first, and 2 specialized AI tools (Sonant and Smith.ai) with instructions for this task. It also works in ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or Copilot.

The prompt

Write a friendly phone script for CSRs handling common service calls: greeting, verification steps placeholder, resolving the request, and closing with a review offer.

Detailed version (asks clarifying questions first)

Act as an experienced assistant to a licensed insurance agent. Before answering, ask me up to 3 clarifying questions (the type of policy, whether it's an email, text or call, and tone). Then complete this task, and finish with a short checklist of statements I should verify with my compliance team.

Task: Write a friendly phone script for CSRs handling common service calls: greeting, verification steps placeholder, resolving the request, and closing with a review offer.

What a good result looks like

A good service script sounds natural, not robotic: a warm greeting, a clear verification step that follows your agency's procedure, a structure for solving the request and confirming what happens next, and a closing that offers a review without pushing.

Common mistakes and watch-outs

Verification is where agencies slip. Follow your written procedure before discussing any policy details, and never confirm information to an unverified caller. CSRs shouldn't give coverage opinions they aren't licensed or trained for. AI receptionists such as Sonant or Smith.ai should follow the same script and hand off to a person when needed.

How to adapt the prompt

Make versions for billing questions, ID cards and policy changes, and a short version for after-hours staff. Ask the AI for three ways to handle an upset caller.

EXAMPLE output (placeholder data, not a real client)

Greeting: "Thank you for calling [Agency Name], this is [CSR Name]. How can I help today?"

Verification: "Before we look at your policy, I need to verify a few details." [Follow agency verification steps]

Resolve: repeat the request back, complete it or explain the next step and timing.

Confirm: "So I've [Action], and you'll get [Confirmation] by [Time]."

Close: "Is there anything else? While I have you, would you like us to do a quick coverage review sometime?"
