Macmillan Holdings, LLC Leave fast, efficient, productive voicemail by following the seven rules of voicemail. Avery Productivity Tell the party right up front that you will be leaving a very detailed message and it would be best for both of us, if they would listen to the entire message before returning the call. i.e. Bob, this is Jessica Smith. You may want to get a pen. This voice mail will be quite detailed and I suggest you listen to it in its entirety before calling me back. I'm trying to avoid phone tag. Hope you're doing well. Here goes. http://getitdone.quickanddirtytips.com/seven-rules-of-voicemail.aspx?commentid=13266#Comments http://getitdone.quickanddirtytips.com/seven-rules-of-voicemail.aspx?commentid=13266#Comments Wed, 30 Jul 2008 23:55:49 GMT Kevin Montgomery Productivity Great episode. Coincidentally, a few days after hearing it, I got an email from a colleague that read something like: "please call when you get this email", and did not leave his number in the message! Thanks again. http://getitdone.quickanddirtytips.com/seven-rules-of-voicemail.aspx?commentid=12960#Comments http://getitdone.quickanddirtytips.com/seven-rules-of-voicemail.aspx?commentid=12960#Comments Wed, 18 Jun 2008 13:25:15 GMT Jessica Productivity I enjoyed the episode. Here's my problem: I leave a long, detailed message, explaining why I'm calling, what information I need, and when the person can call me back. Then I get a call back, "Hi, I saw you called." "Did you listen to my message?" "Nope, just called you back." Then I have to explain everything over again. Any idea on how to get people to listen to my messages before they call me back? http://getitdone.quickanddirtytips.com/seven-rules-of-voicemail.aspx?commentid=12956#Comments http://getitdone.quickanddirtytips.com/seven-rules-of-voicemail.aspx?commentid=12956#Comments Tue, 17 Jun 2008 23:29:19 GMT Wed, 30 Jul 2008 23:55:49 GMT http://getitdone.quickanddirtytips.com/seven-rules-of-voicemail.aspx feedback@quickanddirtytips.com (Managing Editor) feedback@quickanddirtytips.com (Webmaster) en-us
