# Exact words to say to the salesperson

A cars format, measured November 8, 2026 by Volume. https://tryvolume.app/working/cars/exact-words-to-say-to-the-salesperson

Promise or deliver a word-for-word phrase or script that viewers can repeat to a dealer, mechanic or salesperson. It worked for 3 accounts, with a median of 7x their usual reach. Type: Angle. Seen as: Talking head, Slideshow.

## Why it works

A verbatim script is concrete and saveable, and it removes the fear of an intimidating expert. Most of these hooks promise the exact words up front.

## How to make it

1. Name the intimidating situation or hidden trap
2. Give the exact line to say, shown on screen
3. Pair each warning with a counter-script

## Hook formula

[N] words that make [salesperson] [react], and the exact script to [get result].

## How this is measured

- Every post is compared with its own account's usual reach, not with other accounts. "14x their usual" means the post got 14 times the median views of that account's recent posts.
- TikTok videos and Instagram Reels are measured on views. Instagram carousels have no view count, so they are measured on likes against the account's usual likes, and say so.
- A post makes the library at 2x its account's usual or more. A format is a repeatable move (what is said or shown, or how it is edited) that several accounts used in breakout posts. It is listed here once it worked for 3 or more different accounts.
- Formats rank on how many accounts they worked for and how far above usual, damped so a fluke on one tiny account cannot outrank a format that worked for ten.
