copy & go

Real scripts for the conversations you keep avoiding.

Word for word starting points for the moments that don't have a natural script. Free, no toolkit paywall.

Two kinds here. Scripts are for the actual conversation, what to say and in what order, so you're not improvising the hard part live. Documents are frameworks you fill in ahead of time, then bring into the room or hand off. Neither is meant to be read verbatim; swap in your own words and keep the structure.
