Not only does leaving a message akin to “Hey, It’s me. Call me back when you can.” cause the person to have to dig back through their mailbox to figure out who you are, it also means that *if* they can find the information to call you back, when they do so you are less likely to have an effective conversation.
Translation: If you sound unsure, then your current clients, prospects, and partners won’t be so sure about you either.

It also leaves the caller with the impression of someone who is calm, composed, polite and not rushing around like a chicken without a head.
