I teach in two classrooms. How can I forward my calls to the other room or location?
I remember hanging up the phone every time I heard a Voicemail message. I froze with fear and couldn’t speak.
Most people try to rush and explain everything they do in 15 seconds. This DOESN’T WORK! Not only is this overwhelming, but it’s akin to showing all your cards in a game of poker. Effective voicemails provide a warm introduction, leave enough room for curiosity, and provide a reason your lead should call you back. What is the right voicemail to leave personal representatives/prospective sellers?
Hello, (your name) summer home. Some are home, some aren’t. Leave your message at the tone.
I don’t know about you, but I’m shocked every time I listen to a voicemail message left for me by sales reps, prospects and even clients. They are filled with ‘um’s’ and ‘ah’s’, they ramble on and on, they leave no compelling reason for me to call back, and they almost always leave their number so fast that I have to listen to it two, three, sometimes four times to make it out!
Make it as easy as possible for your prospects by including your phone number near the beginning of the message, then repeating your contact information near the end for good measure.

Hi Mary! First of all, I’m so sorry to hear that. What a horrible thing to have happen! It really depends on the manufacturer. There are high quality picture frames and small, less expensive ones that probably don’t have a lot of memory or ways to protect what’s been recorded. I would start with the manufacturer to see if they have any ideas. If they can’t help, try one of the recording suggestions we made in the post to see if they might be able to help.
