Basic Voicemail Message Examples: 1. Share basic information: “Hello! You’ve reached the voicemail of [your name], [your job title]. I’m currently either away from my desk or on the other line. Please leave your name, telephone number, and a short message after the beep, and I’ll be sure to get back to you as soon as I’m available.” 2.
Now listen carefully to the voicemail menu, looking out for the delete or re-record option. Each carrier will have a different process, so make sure you pay attention. If you can’t seem to locate the options, you can try the following for common carriers: For Verizon, use *P For T-Mobile, use #, followed by 3P For Sprint, use * or #, then punch in 3P For AT&T, use *P Step 3: Delete or Re-record
.
Your voicemail inbox has a limit of 100 messages with a 10 minute maximum per message.
3. Click on your phone, then “Scan,” if you’re prompted to confirm what type of data to scan select “Voicemails.”
After a prospect finishes listening to your email, they should be very clear on what the next step of the sales process is. Whether you ended the voicemail asking a question they are prompted to answer, left your contact information instructing them to call you back, or told them to look out for a follow-up email, the message recipient should know exactly what’s coming next, and how to behave accordingly if they are interested in the deal.
A relatively unprofessional one — like mine, for instance — does the opposite: It encourages prospects, recruiters, and potential connections to run in the other direction.
Being personable is key in having your caller look forward to receiving your callback. To do this, use different intonations in your voice to convey enthusiasm.
