The Anatomy of a Good Sales Voicemail Script<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The Beginning <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
First of all say \u201cHi\u201d, you don\u2019t necessarily have to add greetings such as \u201chow are you?\u201d or \u201chow have you been?\u201d because you want to keep your voicemails as short as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you feel like you need to add a secondary greeting that posed as a question, then rephrase it all together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For example, instead of \u201chow are you?\u201d you can say, \u201cI hope you\u2019re doing well\u201d or \u201cI didn\u2019t catch you\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Next, you want to introduce yourself and tell them where you\u2019re calling from<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Your first name should be enough at this point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Middle<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Here\u2019s the part where you can get creative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The middle is where you tell your prospect why you\u2019re calling and get them to either call you back or set them up for a call back on a future date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are plenty of ways to structure this, but you can\u2019t get go wrong with:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
simple statement + your next course of action<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe\u2019re giving out a free month of lead generation! I\u2019ve sent you the details via email and I\u2019ll call you back tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This might be the simplest way to structure the middle of your voicemail, but it\u2019s effective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Notice that there\u2019s no selling involved in the middle?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You want to avoid that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Remember a voicemail is a voice message.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Not a sales message.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You\u2019re using it to book some time with your prospect so that you can then see to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We\u2019ll show you a couple of templates that we have after this section so that you can see how easy it is to implement different strategies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The End<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Always end your voicemail with your phone number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yes, they can call you back in a couple of taps on their phone, but stating your phone number acts as a call-to-action, and it shows your attention to detail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This also helps if they\u2019ve got a dictation option on, this will automatically transcribe your phone number and give your prospect easy access to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Once you\u2019re done with your phone number, make sure you thank them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Optional: you can repeat your number twice! This really helps with the sense of urgency that you are trying to project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Remember, your prospects are taking time out of their day to listen to your voice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It doesn\u2019t matter if it\u2019s 20 seconds or 30 seconds of their time, it\u2019s still good manners if you ask us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When saying goodbye make sure that there\u2019s some urgency and excitement to get back to them, this helps set the tone for your next piece of communication with them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Once you\u2019ve said bye, wait for about half a second and end your recording.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You want to be clear with when you\u2019ve hung up on them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
