In our cool, sleek, electronic age everyone still loves (or at least uses) voicemail. Sure, the way that it is recorded has changed, but it’s still the same concept: “I’m not here. Leave a message. I may or may not call you back.”
It’s that last thought that many salespeople struggle with. How many times have you left customers messages and they don’t call you back? And how many times do you have to leave messages before A: They call you back, or B: They send you an email telling you to stop bugging them?
If you do any sales over the phone, leaving countless voice messages are just part of the job. But the exceptional sales person will take advantage of this opportunity to speak without interruption.
So here’s my question to you: What are some creative ways you have used (or could use) voicemail to stimulate enough interest in the customer’s mind to call you back?
