Here is an example of how to leave a Voicemail message for the property agent called Han Solo:
State upfront how you can help the prospect. Are you saving them time or money, or helping them get promoted?
.
In an email, you may end by telling the contact what you want them to do next. In a voicemail, though, ending with something like, “Call me back,” or, “If I don’t hear from you, I’ll call next week,” can discourage the person from responding.
The next step is very important and you need to get it right. Say your phone number two times very slowly so the person has enough time to write down your number as they are listening to your message the first time.
I do read and respond to comments shared in the comment section at the end of the lesson. That is the best place to interact with me and others in the Confident English Community. Feel free to share your voicemail example or ask a question below.
Here's an advanced technique for all you overachievers. It's "advanced" because it's rarely used, not because it's difficult. The trick? Leave two sales voicemails instead of one. Let us explain:
Finally, the length of your sales voicemails is important. Research suggests that messages under 30 seconds long perform best. This should give you enough time to convey important information without wasting any of your prospect's valuable time.
On the app, click on the "Sound" icon at the lower left part of the tool and select "Microphone." Then, open your voicemail service on your phone and play the voice message. The online audio recorder then clicks the "Record" button on the audio recorder while the voicemail is playing. If you are recording using an external mic, make sure that your phone is on the loudspeaker and pointed at the mic.
Salespeople who call and hang up screen themselves out of the process. No matter if you're prepared to leave the perfect voicemail or not, you need to leave one every time. However, if you do record a few messages with the same ultra-specific question, the prospect feels a twinge of guilt each time you call back because they feel they owe you an answer.
I recommend salespeople start voicemails at their normal tone of voice and then go gradually lower. This implies that you're at ease making the call, and also that the call is unusual.
3. Listen to voicemail messages. Access voicemail. Press 1 to Get your Messages. Press 1 for Voice Messages. Use these keys while you're listening to your messages
We actually know a top insurance sales guy who did a sales motivational message every day just like this, and people used to call just to listen to his thoughts.
3. Enter your Pin Number. You will need to know your pin or passcode in order to check your voicemail. If you don't have this code, you will have to retrieve it from your carrier. You will hear instructions to input your pin. Hit the pound key after you enter your pin. Follow instructions on how to listen to your voicemail. It's usually to push a certain number (like 1). That's all there is to it. You should be able to hear your voicemail messages now.
And that's the reason that most people leave garbled and rushed messages, because they take about two seconds to adjust to the fact that they've got through to an answering service and then with Mary Mitchell's message they have maybe a second or two to compose a short and concise message... which just isn't enough time for most people.
Your voicemail greeting is the first introduction to your office — what kind of impression do you want to leave?
I assume it’s safe to say you’ve gotten really busy or this isn’t a top priority for you at the moment so I’ll take you off of my call list as to no longer interrupt your day.
