Voicemail Greetings Personal

Phone messages that work

Over the years, like most of us, I’ve had to listen to some pretty ordinary messages on the telephone. If it’s a recorded announcement for a company I usually let it slide.

However, if it’s a Voicemail Greetings Personal message and it just doesn’t measure up I begin to question whether I want to be doing business with this person?

On the telephone there are few things that can turn on the desire to hang-up as rapidly as a sub-standard Voicemail.

When you are intending to impress the person you have called don’t leave a greeting that almost guarantees they won’t call back.

You’ll hear it those messages where the caller seems more interested in getting a laugh than in prompting the return call.

 

Know what to include

There’s no end of websites devoted to telling you how to make a great Voicemail Greetings Personal message. The problem with them all is the predictability of the wording and the distinct lack of personality they convey to the person at the other end of the line.

The mandatory inclusions in any Voicemail message are your name, title, business name and contact number.

The next most important item should be the reason for the call.

The reason for the call is to solicit a response, preferably an immediate response to call back. Most of the time it won’t happen!

But if your message leaves a hint of urgency and a touch of intrigue you’ll see a real increase in the number of people who will return the call.

 

Get your message heard

You have to inject your own personality into the messages otherwise you’ll become part of the wallpaper. Your call won’t garner the attention needed to prompt a reaction. Instead it will blend in and disappear into the oblivion of faded memories.

However like everything in life there is a better way. Accepting the need for Voicemail as a regular business tool is the first step. Then admitting that perhaps you need help writing and recording your messages.
