d. Utilizing Ambiguity Over Clarity: When setting up your voicemail greeting be direct and to the point. Tell callers your information, a brief greeting, and direction—i.e. “Hi, this is Jim Shamalam (from Iron Industries). Sorry I can’t take your call right now. Please leave your name number, and a brief message and I’ll get back to you as soon as possible. Thank you.” This is ideal, as you inform callers and let them know what they should do to ensure a return call. A lack of direction can lead to callers leaving incomplete messages (lacking contact or other information) or even callers hanging up without leaving a message altogether.

Will prospects even listen to my message, or will it just be deleted as soon as it's received? If my message is heard, what are my chances of getting a response? Shouldn't I just focus on email and forget sales voicemails altogether?
6. And outline what you're going to say on the phone — yes, even the "how are you" and "thanks for speaking with me." This is one of my go-to tricks. No matter how many times I interview someone on the phone for an article, I get nervous beforehand.
