Sales Tip #570 From The Sales Doctor
How Good Is Your Voicemail Message?
Phil Stella runs Effective Training & Communication and empowers business leaders to reduce the pain with workplace communication. One of his pet peeves is voicemail messages that are too long and make a bad first impression.
Does this one sound like yours?
Hello, this is ______________________. I’m sorry I can’t take your call right now. I’m either on the other line or away from my desk, but your call is very important to me. Please leave me a detailed message with your name and number at the tone, and I’ll get back to you as soon as possible. Thank you and make it a great day.
Phil suggests that we shorten it.
Hello, this is _________________, your one-stop shop for small business technology needs. Please leave me a detailed message, and I’ll return it within four business hours. Thank you.
Listen to your voicemail today to see if it’s making a good first impression.
