A Quick Reminder About Voicemail…

03.21.2014 by Elizabeth // Leave a Comment

imagesSlow down. Stop. Slow down. Pretend you’re talking to a kid, one that just learned how to answer the phone AND write.
I got a voicemail today from a company that said if I had questions to call them. She spoke so quickly, then repeated, that I couldn’t have gotten the number if I wanted it.
If you want a chance at people replying to your voicemail, slow down. Tell me why you’re calling, tell me WHY you want me to call you back, and SLOWLY leave your phone number. Then leave your number again, and your name.
I won’t lie- my biggest obstacle to calling someone back is if the phone number they called from isn’t the number they want me to call them back at. I am VERY lazy. If I can hit “return call” I just might do that. But if I have to write down a number and then dial it? I’ll have to really like you and want to talk to you for that to happen…
