Quote from @Ahmed Al-Absi:
Currently I'm position the call to only build a rapport with the seller:
Sample script: Hi John, my name is Ahmed Al-Absi, I'm a real estate investor with "Name of Company". We currently own a multifamily property in "The Same Market". I see that you are listed as the owner of "Greenview MF" and I wanted to connect with you as a professional courtesy. I'd love it if we can speak on the phone for few minutes to have the pleasure of getting to you know and your business. When is a good day and time? I look forward to speaking to you.
Thanks,
Name+name of co

Horrible. You are are not connecting out of professional courtesy, you are connecting out of personal interests. What is their benefit in having you "get to know their business". Your pitch needs to offer a benefit to them, otherwise you are just wasting their time. When I hear people tap dance like this, it just annoys me. Successful people don't have time for BS. Cut to the point of what you want and be honest. Establish credibility by talking about a recent acquisition. Maybe talk about a property located close by that shows the seller you are a closer and not just a talker. One benefit could be, "we buy off market, pay top dollar and you don't pay realtor fees".
