They complain that "Nobody returns my calls." <BR/><BR/>I tell them, "Nobody has to return your calls." <BR/><BR/>You need to give them a compelling reason to call. And make it easy for them to call.<BR/><BR/>Listen to the audio post on my Marketing Blog www.GeorgeTorok.com<BR/>at<BR/>http://georgetorok.blogspot.com/2006/04/leave-voice-message-that-gets-more.html<BR/><BR/>George TorokGeorge Torokhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10631576952720134853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10547970.post-1146703118195730902006-05-03T20:38:00.000-04:002006-05-03T20:38:00.000-04:00I use the following way to get people to call back...I use the following way to get people to call back (and I have had people call me back):<BR/><BR/>And I agree with the simple method.<BR/><BR/>1) I have a couple of questions about your business. Please call me back today. My name is Y and my number is X.<BR/><BR/>Make sure you really do have questions and don't just go into a pitch (if your in sales).<BR/><BR/>My theory: Treat the voicemail as a sale or a direct response piece. You are trying to sell them on calling you back...you must give them a compelling reason (for them: self serving, curiosity etc.), but you have to close by asking them to call you. <BR/><BR/>Thats my theory, try it out and see if it works for you. I would be interested to know of the results.<BR/><BR/>I have found that many business owners and entrepreneurs love to talk about their business! Its great and I love to hear about them because I am a sponge. I think that will get them to call you back, to talk about their business.M Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13962094098178870562noreply@blogger.com
