Storm outreach messaging has a specific anatomy that works. Generic sales scripts fail because they sound like sales calls. Effective storm outreach references the specific event, the specific address, and positions the inspection as a service — not a sales call. The homeowner experienced a real event this morning. The right message acknowledges that event, provides relevant information, and makes a low-friction offer.
Voicemail Script (Under 30 Seconds)
"Hi, this is [Name] with [Company]. We're doing free roof inspections in [Neighborhood] today after the hail that came through around 2 PM. Several homes on [Street Name] already have significant damage documented. Takes about 15 minutes and there's absolutely no obligation. Call us back at [Number] or text YES and we'll fit you in today." Key elements: specific neighborhood, specific time reference, social proof from nearby properties, time investment framed as minimal, zero-commitment language.
SMS Follow-Up Script
"Hey [First Name], just left you a voicemail. We're doing free inspections on [Street Name] today after the hail. Takes 15 min. Want us to stop by? Reply YES." The SMS mirrors the voicemail in 160 characters. Reply YES is the lowest possible action required.
Door Knock Opening
"Hi, I'm [Name] with [Company] — we've been inspecting roofs on your street this afternoon after the hail. A few of your neighbors have some significant damage we're documenting. Would you like me to take a quick look while I'm here? It takes about 15 minutes and there's no charge or obligation." The phrase "while I'm here" creates social proof and convenience framing — the inspector is already in the neighborhood, so the homeowner is getting a free service rather than agreeing to a sales call.
