There isn't a day goes by when our team are hit by the dreaded tone... the answering machine.
Most of the time our customers would put the phone down... ...or leave a garbled message because nerves get the better of them and they start to sweat and stutter!
When you work as part of a telesales team that simply isn't an option. If you quit every time you were faced with the voicemail, you would never secure that next big meeting.
Next time try this:
"Hi, my name is X and I was trying to catch you today. I will be available until 5:30 today. My number is 079381 4 8384, thank you!"
