Creating a script ensures
that the agents stay on track
and take minimum time of
the respondents.
Tip: Try putting some variable sections in your script so
that it seems personalized and not redundant.

Hi, I'm speaking from AB research
group, do you mind if I ask you a
few questions?

Adding your questions is the
most vital part of your survey
as the basis of your whole
survey depends on them.

point with objective answers. It will help you in recording
the respondent opinions in a better way.
