What Is It - an Answer Machine or Voice Mail?
By BIG Mike McDaniel

What I want to know is who decided that an answering machine was to be called a voice mail machine? Hey, if it walks like a duck...

Whatever they call it, if you miss your contact you may have to speak to the machine. You can do one of three things. Leave a message, leave your name and phone number or hang-up.

Forget the hang-up. You made the call, don't waste the opportunity by not leaving a message that includes more than your phone number.

What you say and how you say it is what sets the voice mail pro apart from the disgruntled amateur. What should you say? You have to plan this in advance. Scripting is not a bad idea. Eliminate the ahs and stumbles. Just pretend the crummy machine is the real deal. You wouldn't search for words if your prospect answered in person, right?

There is research that says the average executive gets over 300 messages from mail, email, fax and more each day, not to mention the bombardment of advertising messages from billboards, TV radio and cable. That's a lot of clutter for you to penetrate.

You must get attention right off, or you go down with the delete button.

First off, it's not about you. This phrase pops up in every aspect of marketing, from advertising all the way to voice mail messages, Its Not About You.

Take a poll. No one cares about you (well, maybe your dog). What everyone cares about is me. What's in it for me? Leave a message, not name and phone number and don't go on about you... seek to entice interest by suggesting something for them.

Everyone leaves the same tired message and they get tuned out the minute it starts; "Hi this is Roscoe, we haven't met but I thought I'd call to see if you would be interested in hearing about my new..." UGH! I, I, I, Me, Me, Me.

Make your messages so compelling folks have to call you back. And don't drone on and on, make 'em short enough to entice, but long enough to incite.

Voice mails have been asking callers to "Leave a message" for years, yet fully three quarters of those who do respond to the beep leave only name and phone number. What message does that send?

Your voice mail message gives you a perfect opportunity to call for action on the part of your listener (Remember you are competing with 300+ messages and the horrid reputation of telephone telemarketers).

Go for the close. Ask them to do something. To call you. To be on the lookout for a package from FedEx. Ask and you will get.

Voice mail response can be an effective sales tool. Voice mail is one of many tools the professional uses to get the job done right.

WHERE ARE YOU GOING?

An army chaplain tells of the time he was asked to preach at a church some 20 miles from the base. He took his family along, but had neglected to tell his six-year-old daughter where they were going. After a few miles on the road, she asked, "Dad, when we get to where we're going, where will we be?" A good question! And one all of us should try to answer for ourselves.

Think of your life's journey. When you get to where you're going, where will you be? One year, five years, or even 20 years from now, if you keep heading in the same direction you are heading and keep doing what you are doing, what will your life look like? Not only vocationally and financially, but what kind of person will you be? Do you have a pretty clear picture of the way you would like things to turn out, or will you be as surprised when it happens as everybody else?

It has been my experience that most people do not spend much time with these questions. But as Henry David Thoreau once said, "In the long run, we only hit what we aim at."

To live aimlessly is to waste this precious gift of life. But to live with direction is to live fully.
