Note: I have several lessons about communicating on the telephone that may be useful to you:
Leaving a scripted voicemail can improve lead response rates anywhere from 3% to 22%. 70% of local searches online result in a phone call; In 2014, 80% of callers sent to voicemail said they do not leave messages because they don’t think they’ll even be heard.
.
When asked to press a number, pause on the phone/mic icon and click a number under the DIAL PAD tab.
You can also use a cloud service to backup everything you want to save from your phone or download an app made for saving messages, like VoicemailSaver. It costs $3.99 but it saves your messages, even if your phone is broken or stolen. For free options, try HulloMail or InstaVoice.
Stuttering, rambling, or repeating yourself all make for less-than-stellar sales voicemails that prospects will be less inclined to respond to. That's why you can't try to figure out what you want to say as you're leaving the message.
3. Enter your voicemail password, if you have one. If you don’t know what it is, try entering your phone number or contacting your carrier for assistance.
While it is a best practice to end your message with your contact information, that is only valuable when the recipient listens to your message until the end. By stating your name and phone number earlier in the message and repeating it at the end, you’ll be able to pass your information along to those who may not initially hear the message in its entirety.
In the Phone app , Visual Voicemail (available from select carriers) shows a list of your messages. You can choose which ones to play and delete without listening to all of them. A badge on the Voicemail icon indicates the number of unheard messages.
As I mentioned above, some words like ‘can’t’ are often mispronounced by non-native speakers and it can sound like a swear word!
Sorry, Chris and Susan aren’t here right now. Please leave your name and number after the tone. If you are calling regarding an outstanding debt, please leave your message before the tone.
3. Mobile Wireless: Press and hold the “1” button on the dialer screen of your T-Mobile device. This command automatically dials into the T-Mobile voicemail system.

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?

We are hoping this can be done before the outgoing message is accidentally deleted.
