Opus1 role-play cheat sheet
For the mock cold call at the end of most SDR interviews.
What they sell, in one line
All-in-one software for music and performing arts schools to manage scheduling, billing, enrollment, and communication.
Who you'd be calling
Owners and directors of music schools, dance and theater studios, and private lesson businesses.
Your opener
“Hi [Name], this is [You] from Opus1. I know I'm catching you out of the blue. We help music schools handle scheduling, billing, and enrollment in one place, and I wanted to ask how you manage that now.”
Problems you solve for them
- Juggling lesson schedules, teacher availability, and make-up lessons
- Chasing families for tuition and tracking payments by hand
- Losing prospective students because enrollment is clunky
Discovery questions to ask
- How do you schedule lessons and handle make-ups today?
- How do you collect tuition and follow up on late payments?
- What happens when a new family wants to enroll?
Objections they'll throw at you
“I'm in the middle of lessons, I don't have time.”
→ No problem, I'll keep it to under a minute. Is there a better time later today or tomorrow when you're between lessons?
“We're not interested.”
→ Understood. Just so I know, are scheduling and billing running smoothly for you right now, or is it something you'd like to improve?
“We already use a spreadsheet and some other tools.”
→ A lot of schools start that way. Which part takes the most time each week? Could I show you how that piece works in 15 minutes?
“Send me an email.”
→ Sure. To keep it relevant, are you more focused on scheduling, billing, or getting new students enrolled?
