But that doesn't stop some millennials like 26-year-old Nick Sirianno from feeling that voice mail is clearly a thing of the past.

Many companies offer an escape option so that if a caller ends up in a staff member’s voice mailbox, he or she can “escape” out of the mailbox and go back to the attendant menu. Use a customized auto-attendant for this situation. If you would like to leave a voicemail, please press 1 and leave your name, number, and a brief message. If you would like to return to the main menu, please press the # key.

As you practice and score your sales voicemails, you’ll start to determine some best practices. Write these down, and use them as an outline for future calls. Here are a few of my best practices.
Make sure your speech is both air-tight and thoughtful. That doesn't mean you have to rush, but it does mean you have to know your point and get to it quickly.
“Hello, this is _________ from _______. I’m calling because [reason]. I’d love to talk to you about _________. My number is _________. I’ll also follow up with an email tomorrow. I look forward to hearing what you think. Have a great day. Goodbye!"
It’s going to be something like that. It’s a bit long isn’t it? Haha It goes against my advice! haha
