A positive attitude extends to your voice and how you’re speaking. At the same time, if the prospect can’t hear or understand you, all of your work is wasted. Follow the four Cs: Be Clear: Drink water, clear your throat, invest in resources like a good headset and phone. Be as mindful as possible about speaking clearly. Be Concise: Keep it short and simple. Use a good Cadence: Don’t be afraid of strategic pauses, and vary the speed of your delivery. Be Compelling: Speak with authority.

When you call 321 from your mobile, you’ll be asked to type the PIN into your phone and record your name and personal greeting (that’s what people will hear when they call through and can’t get back to you, so make it catchy).Once your greeting has been set, we’d recommend changing your Voicemail PIN to something more personal so you can easily access your Voicemail settings in the future. You can do this through the user options area of 321 (that’s option number 8 on the main menu).Your PIN can be any series of numbers between 4 & 9 digits, provided they are not sequential (e.g. 5678) or aren't a series of repeated numbers (e.g. 111).
