It’s not often that you hear a perfect cold call voicemail. But I reckon this one is. Launch the audio file (less than 100kb) by clicking here: Voicemail_right_tone_natural_training
It’s a real call from one of our sales team to one of our prospective customers. Here are the boxes it ticks:
- Right length
- Right tone – not too desperate!
- Right message – arouses curiousity (ensure that it is professional and accurate though!)
- It is clear
- Repeats phone number (slowly!)
- And it got a callback – from COLD!
If you can replicate these points in your voicemails, you will enjoy much more success!
Are there any aspects of this voicemail message that you do or don’t like? If so, let us know.
We regularly run telesales training courses focused on how to sell using your own natural style. If you would like to chat, give me a call when you can!
