How NOT to leave a message

Posted by Jeremy L. Knauff

Whether you are calling someone to sell something, buy something or just get some information, and you have to leave a message, make sure you leave more than just your name and number. It may seem like common sense, but you would be surprised how many people do that.

When I hear a message like this: “John Smith, 505-958-5361″ (I received a message exactly like this yesterday), I think the person is either trying to trick me into calling them back so they can try to sell me something, or they’re interested in our services, but aren’t very committed or serious since they aren’t willing to put forth any effort. Either way, my experience has shown me that it’s rarely worthwhile to return those type of messages.
