For example, if the lead is a first time home buyer, you can offer them advice on the general mortgage process in your voicemail. Plus, suggest they call you back to learn more. Make sure they know that you would be happy to answer any questions they may have.
If you can, try to keep your message 20 to 30 seconds long — max.

This is why it's important to lead with something relevant to the prospect, such as a thought-provoking question.
The number you have xxx-xxxx (your number) has been changed, the new number is xxx-xxxx (again, your number). CULATA!
