Sales Tip of the Day: SOME THING ARE BETTER LEFT UNSAID

How often do you make a call to a prospect or customer, get their voicemail, and leave some basic info and then ask the person to call you back?

You shouldn’t do it at all!

I don’t mean you shouldn’t leave a voicemail.  I am saying you shouldn’t have to say, “call me back.”

If you called your client with information or assistance they have asked for, or to follow up on a previous promise, they already know they need to call you back.

So the next time you leave a voicemail, just tell them who you are, the best number to reach you, and the reason you called.

If they are interested, they will call you back.  If not, they won’t, and no amount of pleading will change that.
