VOICEMAIL 101-part 2

[COD]

In an recent post I mentioned a few tips on how to leave a clever voicemail to incresae your call back percentage.

There will be times when people call you back and you’re not readily available. If you do not have voicemail or caller I.D. that equates to missed opportunity. Some people cringe at listening to voicemail, especially if it’s totally cheesy. Others hate leaving a message, change their minds based upon your voicemail message, or just hang up. To decrease missed opportunities implement these tips:

 HAVING A CLEAR/CLEVER/INTERESTING VOICEMAIL ANNOUNCEMENT CAN ALSO INCREASE YOUR CALL-BACKS.

 BE SURE TO MAKE IT CLEAR, CONCISE, AND FUNNY, NOT TOO SERIOUS.

 SAYING “you reached 555-1212, leave a message….” Does virtually nothing for the person calling, they may even opt out to not leave a number/message at all.

 Speak slow (not rushed) smoothly and in a great tone (smile as you speak).

 Listen to it yourself and adjust accordingly

 Remind the caller of who they’re calling to avoid wrong numbers, to leave their info & best time to reach them.

I never leave a voicemail if its a girl I never went out with or barley went out with. I will try to call again, another time or another day and if she is too fvcking busy to pick up her cell then it tells me that she is screening the calls and she ain't worth my time. These days cellphones are extension of a chicks life, they are around it 24/7 and they have caller ID, so their aren't really any excuses.

"Believe or not, george is not home. Please leave a message at the beep. I must be out or I'd pick the phone. Where could I be? Believe it or not... I'm not home!"
That one will totally make people leave you messages.

yo DJ DAMAGE............the article SAID....WHEN CHCICS CALL YOU BACK AND GET YOUR VOICEMAIL...........lame messages dont get second call backs.

It never said leave messages, it SAID HAVING A COOL INTRO INCREASES YOUR A FUN GUY, COOL, CONFIDENCE.

ANSWERING YOUR PHONE ON THE VERY FIRST RING......SAYS YOU ARE DESPRET AND READILY AVAILABLE.

THERE ARE IN FACT TIMES WHEN ITS IN YOUR BEST INTEREST NOT TO ANSWER...........duh when is dat.........

IN A MOVIE, WHILE YOU ARE SLEEPING, WHEN YOUR PHONE IS CHARGING/GETTING REPAIRED, WHEN U ARE HAVING SEX, ON A DATE, IN CHURCH, GETTING REPIRMANDED AT WORK, IN CLASS.........

SO...........when a CHIC DOES CALL U BACK AND U CANT ANSWER.......ONCE again a cool message WORKS IN YOUR FAVOR.........no ITs not despret, its a fricken message....thats it. TRUST ME FIELD TESTED THIS........AND

HI THE IS DJ BRAIN DAMAGE LEAVE ME A MESSAGE.........does nothing COMPARED TO " 4 out of 5 gynocologists recomend a daily dose of vitamin ME to ensure great health"..... while I can't come to the phone right now, I can fit you in real soon, name, dress size and number I can service you....eerr reach you will go to the head of the line.

Or some other cool, clever, or cheesy lines work. They laugh, they save those messages and play them to their friends.......AGAIN........I FIELD TESTED USING VARIOUS MESSAGES and tracked which ones got best results...had nothing to do with how suave i was extracting number either.

This is good advice.

I leave messages pretty much any time I call somebody and they don't pick up. Sometimes they generate a call back and sometimes they go ignored. I am 100% sure that I have messages and calls being screened by chicks and that were I to leave a more entertaining, upbeat, interesting message, my callback ratio would increase.

I recommend leaving a short easy to reply to message. Sometimes open-ended messages work well. Personally if a woman doesn't call back or reply to messages that I leave, I'm probably already spending the evening with a different one who did. Spinning plates prevents anxiety.
