What’s the difference between a great voicemail message and one that’s lacking (and therefore stands less of a chance of getting returned right away, if at all)? It comes down to whether you “gave good voicemail” … or not! Wouldn’t it be great if there were official voicemail rules people had to follow? Here are some of the most effective ideas I’ve found on leaving effective messages, avoid wasting the time of the recipient – and having a better chance of getting your call returned!

1. Start (and end) each message with your name and number. This makes it easy for the recipient to replay the message and capture your number – without having to listen to it all again. Do this until you are absolutely sure they have your number memorized or in their database (and how would you know that?). In other words, people are accessing their messages from places other than their offices, so always leave your contact information w

Asking: A Key to Your Business Success
Many small business owners like us have a difficult time asking for business. It's not that we don't want the business, but wouldn't it be so nice if people just handed over their money for our product or service rather than our actually having to ask them for it?And this is one of the most common ways that small businesses stay really, really small, an

Do you Feel Confident about Buying the Business?

2. Prepare your message – in advance. What exactly do you want to say? Jot down a few notes prior to calling so you will remember everything you need your listener to know (and allow them to prepare properly before calling you back).

3. Brevity is bliss. Make each message one minute long or less. Have more to say? Give the recipient an overview of what you’d like to discuss, and ask them to return your call. Sending a brief email is also another great alternative.

Conversation is when two or more people speak, listen effectively, and come to a shared understanding. We are often afraid to listen or refuse to listen because we already have an opinion. When there is no conversation people make things up, and it usually isn't positive. It is important to look at what we say to others and determine what effect we are having on them. As we increase our willingness and ability to converse our influence grows.
