Copy-paste prompt

I pay $[X]/mo for [plan] with [provider], [N] years. Competitors at my address: [offers]. Write a polite retention script with 3 fallback asks, and the exact words to use if they say no.

What to verify

Check for new contract terms, equipment fees and promo expiry.

Legal & ethical notes

If you use an AI voice agent to place calls: disclose it is an AI, follow your state's recording-consent law (some states require all-party consent), and know the FCC treats AI-generated voices in robocalls as 'artificial' under the TCPA. Safest: AI writes the script, you make the call.
