“Hello ___. This is ______ from _________. I’m calling because you downloaded my guide on “How to Make the Best Offer In Today’s Housing Market”, and I have some new information I haven’t had a chance to add to the ebook but would like to share. It’s about what I’ve learned from clients who’ve been caught up in bidding wars and how they came out on top. If you’d like to learn more about making the best offer to win the house of your dreams, my number is ______. I’ll follow up with an email as well {mention texting if you don’t have an email address}. I look forward to hearing what you think about the ebook. Again, my number is ___________ . Have a great day!”
For example, perhaps you noticed that a prospect downloaded an eBook from your company's website. You could mention this in your voicemail. Something along the lines of, "Hi John, this is Mike from Company XYZ. I noticed you downloaded our guide to working with influencers…"

Hedge your bets by giving them two ways to respond. A simple, "I'll also follow up with an email," before you hang up, is short, concise, and shows thoroughness on your part.

Hello. Oh hi, how are you? It has been so long. How have you been? We have to meet this weekend. How about I call you around… beep.
Little things like a great voicemail can really set you apart from your competition. Think about it. Would you be more inclined to want to interview someone who is shouting about how much they hate calling people back, or the person who simply asks you to leave a message?

That’s why it’s never been more important for salespeople to be good at leaving messages. Not only that, but voicemail can—and should—be measured, coached, and improved.
I remember hanging up the phone every time I heard a Voicemail message. I froze with fear and couldn’t speak.
Voicemail may not be as popular today as it once was, but it’s still a useful feature; it lets you receive voice messages when you’re unable to answer the phone.
How can leave a voicemail message for someone without ringing their phone? I want to send a message directly to their voicemail box
Instead, lead with, "Next time we talk, I want to share two goals on our new product roadmap that speak directly to several pain points you've raised. I'll tell you more in our next meeting. How about next Tuesday?"
This is another helpful outreach strategy for prospects you haven't heard from in a while.
It’s shocking to learn that 97% of calls go to voicemail but, after making hundreds of calls, most would agree the percentage feels at least that high. Consider the following before making a call: Where the lead came from Time of day the lead was received Keep your message short (under 20 seconds) Avoid giving away too much information Add information that will pique their interest Speak with confidence/authority Keep tone and delivery casual and friendly Be clear and concise
State your number right after your name. Many people wait until the very end of the message to state their number. This will irritate the receiver of your message because if he doesn’t get it down, he then has to sit through the whole damn message again to hear it repeated.
Do me a favor though please. So I’m not bothering you anymore, could you please give me a quick call and just give me an update so I know what direction you’re moving in?
Most people screen their phone calls and often avoid answering unknown numbers. If you’re applying for new positions, you should try to view each unexpected call as an exciting opportunity! In the event that you simply can’t pick up the phone, you’ll want a polished voicemail greeting to let the caller know they’ve reached the right person.
