A lot of times our anxieties get the best of us and we don’t often think about the person on the other end of the voicemail and the information they need.
Here are some tips for leaving courteous and business-like voicemails that will get returned. Think it through first. Introduce yourself. Speak slowly. Speak clearly. Mention your availability. Keep it short and sweet. Make sure your details are clear. End the voicemail professionally. How do you leave a professional voicemail example?
OPTIONAL: … And if for some reason the timing isn’t right, let me know that as well and I’ll remove you from my call list. Thanks (prospects name)”

Hi Cindi, What a beautiful idea! The easiest way to do this would be to have someone who is good at editing video or audio do this for you on their computer. Maybe a relative or someone from your local high school or college. Once the voice mails are saved as MP3s using the suggestions in the post, it would be easy to edit them using Camtasia or Movavi or any other editing software. If you don’t have anyone around, a Walgreens or Walmart store might be able to do it for you if they edit video. They might have the capability. We had a very old audio file of ours (from reel to reel!) edited and resaved onto a DVD by iMemories.com. They did an amazing job! All the best! Laura

Thanks for all the great advice you share on the Manners Mentor blog! Here is my situation. I hope you can help. Sometimes I’m good at leaving a voicemail that’s to the point, but most of the time I feel like I’m a babbling idiot. I never know how much information to leave. How much is too much? How much isn’t enough, especially in a professional setting? I would love to know your thoughts on this. Best wishes for a wonderful week!
This is a tactic we picked up from Jeff Hoffman and it works because it makes you more memorable and makes your messages seem genuine and less rehearsed. Give it a try and see if it will work for you too!
