Quick Voice Mail Technique Gets Results!

[wadesgirl]

I had heard it before but yesterday during a training I heard it again and figured I would try it. What was it?!?!?!?! I sometimes left a long rambling message when getting people's voice mail and they weren't calling back. So yesterday I started leaving the following message: "Hi this is X with TPC. I had a quick question I wanted to ask. Please call me back at XXXXXX". Guess what, out of 9 messages I left last night 2 called me back today! I didn't get anything out of those call backs except to follow up with them later but at least they called me back! One even said "Well you left a message yesterday and I figured it was about booking a show!"

So I guess the moral of the story is, leave a short and concise message and you will be more likely to get a call back!

(I had left her a message a few weeks ago about booking a show and she never called back). LOL!I think it's because it's short, sweet and to the point. They know it won't take long and it's easier for them to call back. It's not as intimidating as a long rambling message where they think they'll be on the phone for a long time.So now I'm going to try this on some of my other customers who haven't called me back. It can't hurt!I've been doing that for a while now. I also say that I can be reached at this number at this time and this number at that time. I also say that I will try to call them at this time and this number but if I am unable to reach them, they can call me back at a time that is convenient for them. I have had a lot of success with this. I think it also helps to give them a specific time to call you back. They know that you are expecting their call and it's not just a general call back whenever.
