No matter what, speak positively about yourself and the services you provide. The first mortgage call is just as important as ever. To remain relevant, mortgage originators must provide value. So, that first voicemail is your golden opportunity to do so!
Calling just to "check in" isn't a relevant reason unless your prospect has specifically asked you to. It's just a lazy excuse to get someone on the phone and it hardly ever works. Instead, find common ground between you and your leads.
I touched on this earlier, but it's worth repeating. Keep your voicemails short and sweet. Very few — if any — of your prospects are interested in spending multiple minutes listening to you make small talk or rattle off your offering's features and benefits.

You don’t have to have fancy words or a whole new voicemail message for the 2nd attempt.
