Script for Promoting ECO-4 Grant Measures
Introduction
Agent:
"Hi [Customer’s Name], my name is [Agent’s Name], and I’m calling on behalf of [Your Company Name].
How are you today?"
[Pause and acknowledge the response.]
"I’m reaching out because you may qualify for the government-backed ECO-4 grant program. This initiative
provides free or subsidized home energy efficiency upgrades, such as insulation, boiler replacement, and
central heating, to help homeowners like you save on energy bills and make your home more comfortable.
May I take a moment to explain further?"
Explaining the ECO-4 Grant
Agent:
"The ECO-4 grant is designed to assist eligible homeowners by offering energy efficiency measures, such as:
• External Wall Insulation (EWI)
• Internal Wall Insulation (IWI)
• Cavity Wall Insulation (CWI)
• Loft Insulation
• Boiler Replacement
• Air Source Heat Pumps
• Energy Storage Heating
• First-Time Central Heating, and more.
These upgrades not only improve your home’s comfort but also lower your energy bills and carbon
footprint."
Eligibility Criteria
Agent:
"To qualify, there are three main criteria:
1. You must be a homeowner.
2. You or someone in your household should be receiving certain government benefits (like Universal
Credit, Pension Credit, or similar).
3. Your home’s energy rating should be E, F, or G.
If you meet these requirements, we can arrange a free assessment survey to determine which measures you’re
eligible for. Does this sound like something you’d be interested in?"
[Pause and wait for the response. If yes, proceed to gather information. If no, politely acknowledge.]

Addressing Common Objections (If needed otherwise move to “Gathering Information”
and fill data form)
1. "I don’t think I qualify."
Agent:
"That’s a valid concern! Many people aren’t sure about their eligibility, which is why we offer a free,
no-obligation assessment. We can quickly check if you qualify—would you like to find out?"
2. "What’s the catch? Is it really free?"
Agent:
"Great question! The ECO-4 program is fully funded by the government and energy suppliers to help
reduce carbon emissions. For eligible households, the measures are completely free or heavily
subsidized—there are no hidden charges."
3. "I don’t have time to deal with this now."
Agent:
"I understand, [Customer’s Name]. The process is straightforward and requires minimal involvement
from you. We can schedule a quick call or a visit at a time that suits you—when would be
convenient?"
4. "I’m not receiving any benefits."
Agent:
"Thank you for letting me know. In some cases, there are other pathways to eligibility based on
household income or local authority schemes. Would you like us to explore that for you?"
5. "I’m concerned about disruption to my home."
Agent:
"I completely understand. The installation process is managed by professionals who work efficiently
to minimize any inconvenience. Most upgrades are completed quickly with optimized disruption to
your daily life."
Gathering Information
Agent:
"To get started, I just need to ask a few quick questions:
1. Are you the homeowner of your property?
2. Is anyone in your household receiving government benefits like Universal Credit, Pension Credit, or
others?
3. Do you know your home’s current energy rating? If not, don’t worry—we can check it for you."
[If the customer meets the criteria, proceed to the next step.]
Booking the Assessment Survey
Agent:
"Based on what you’ve shared, it sounds like you could be eligible for the ECO-4 grant. The next step is to
book a free home assessment survey, where an expert will visit your property to confirm eligibility and
recommend the best measures for your home.
When would be a good time for the assessment? It usually takes less than an hour."
(Ask for the tentative days and approximate time, we will check availability than book the survey, later.)
