Here's an advanced technique for all you overachievers. It's "advanced" because it's rarely used, not because it's difficult. The trick? Leave two sales voicemails instead of one. Let us explain:
This is a great resource to learn how to set up my own voicemail. Thank you very much, Annemarie.
In 2011, I became a full-time sales coach and consultant. I push, challenge, and inspire top producing sales professionals to increase their income, manage their time, and love their career. I routinely help my clients achieve more than they thought was possible.
The alternative is simple: Provide in your voice message a phone number and refer the caller to an assistant, a colleague, a cell number—any way of expediting their quest. Help your caller to reach someone who can, in your absence, be helpful and succeed in keeping the business. And remember to update your voicemail message when appropriate.
Before you record your business voicemail greeting, be sure to rehearse it so you feel comfortable and don’t stumble around. You might want to write a script and practice a few times out loud beforehand.
We apologize for your wait. Please continue to stay on the line and we will return to your call momentarily.
Use this advance call forwarding feature to connect up to three other phone lines, including home, mobile, or office numbers. With UniTel Voice your customers can reach you wherever you are.
When you know something to be true, when you have an opinion that needs to be shared, be more assertive and powerful in your word choices. Here are 3 simple ways you can do that.
Tresta makes it easy to record new greetings directly from your web browser – no special software or equipment required.
If your business is closing on one of its normal operating days for a holiday, or is dealing with an emergency or unforseen situation, you should update your after hours announcement to avoid confusion.
Not everyone will observe the same holidays, and not every business or even member of your team will be around at the same time or even days. It is also completely possible that your business will stay open, but adjust operating hours. Either way, recording a personalized holiday greeting for your business can go a long way in improving your customer’s experience.
