Want Faster Response?
You’ll encourage people to return your phone calls faster if you leave effective voice mail messages. Experts suggest making yours better by:
1. Keeping your message between 40 and 50 seconds. Too short and the message may seem insignificant. Too long and you may rile the other party.
2. Pretending you’re writing your phone number in the air as you recite it. Most callers speak much too fast, which forces recipients to replay the message repeatedly.
3. Speaking louder than usual, enunciating as you speak. Your recipient may retrieve your message in a noisy place like an airport.
