Hi Sam, this is Joan. I couldn’t make it to the meeting this morning and I was hoping you could *fill me in*. Feel free to give me a call when you have a free moment. Thanks.
My first tip for you today, is to write it down and when you are ready to record simply read it out.
.
1. Tap the fixed key with the envelope graphic, or dial the phone’s phone number.
Its imperative that you, your company, or both are doing something on a regular basis that labels you as a value-added industry resource to your targeted audience. This way you have a clear advantage over all the other sales calls he/she is receiving.
State your name first. You would think this would be so basic that it shouldn’t even be mentioned. However, I can’t count the number of times I’ve gotten voicemails where people go on and on and I don’t even know who’s talking to me until the very end. Pretty annoying.
You only have so much time to make a meaningful impression on your prospect. Stick to talking about the tangible benefits you can offer, and keep your language straightforward and accessible.
"Wherever we're talking to them, we're hearing the same things, which is: When it comes to voice mail, they're just over it," says Jane Buckingham, a trend analyst at Trendera.
Press 2 to continue recording. (In other words, the # is a great “Pause” key; it holds the recording while you think.)
To turn off Wi-Fi, go to the Control Center and tap the Wi-Fi icon. Now try using voicemail.
As you practice and score your sales voicemails, you’ll start to determine some best practices. Here are a few of mine:
Please note that if you record an unavailable greeting, it will be used instead of the default message with your name recording.
A professional voicemail greeting is a recorded message that welcomes callers to your business when no one is available to pick up the call. For a polished call experience, the greeting should reflect who the client is calling – whether a general business number, department, team, or individual – and when the customer can expect the call to be returned.
7. For extra security, back up your newly recorded voicemails to a storage service like Dropbox or Google Drive, both of which offer free space. The Leadership Brief.

Keep in mind, your goal is to get the lead to call you back and continue to the next step of the process. It may be discouraging, but, most likely, the lead will not commit to a mortgage with you from one voicemail message. So, make it your priority to educate them about you as a loan officer and what you would offer them.
That’s amazing Bonnie! Thanks so much for the tip. I’ll be sure to update the post to reflect the service you found, so all of our other readers can take advantage of it. Happy Holidays!! Laura
