Voice Mail

You can increase the likelihood of your voice mail being returned by remembering these basic tips:

• Speak slowly and clearly.
• Give your name, company name and complete phone number at the beginning of the message.
• Briefly and slowly explain the reason for your call. Voice mail is not the place to launch into a lengthy sales pitch or long, detailed explanation of a problem you are having.
• Ask for a callback.
• Leave an alternate method of contacting you such as email or evening phone number.
• Repeat your name and phone number slowly at the end of the message so the recipient can write it down to return your call.
