Voicemail please call full#
The one time that I needed to hear a voicemail, I had to wade through a mailbox that was full of sales pitches, missed invitations and amusing stories about dogs. This is the crux of my point and reason that I changed my voicemail. How many of us have had a voicemail like this only to finally get the message when the reactor melts… after challenging the person who left the voicemail 9/10 they will say ‘but I left you a voicemail’. I need to know about this one right now and the sender who is clearly in a rush didn’t leave their name or their number. “ We’ve found an APT sitting inside the firmware of our nuclear reactor and it’s about to blow up – can you call me back please” Ok, this one didn’t happen but you can see my point. “ Hi Lee, I’ve tripped over the guide dog puppy and broken my foot, can you call me please?” This actually happened to my wife… so ironic… apparently it’s ‘not funny’ These are the calls that voicemail is actually for: “ Sorry Lee, I think we just got cut off, can you call me back on…” Usually in response to the previously mentioned call back, these people just don’t take a hint… Important calls It wasn’t it was a sales pitch (a bad one) and the person at the other end of the phone found out that I wasn’t bothered about setting them straight on the rules of politeness. “ Lee, you missed my call, call me back on …” Unfortunately I’ve fallen for this one before thinking it was actually important. Take a hint, I will not be calling you back

Ultimately a waste of time… they have more chance of convincing water to spontaneously combust through the power of mime than getting a call back… but you never know. “ Hi Lee, it’s Billy bob from Acme co calling about a random product that you might want – if you’re interested please call me on…” I actually don’t mind these voicemails - they are not really demanding or presumptuous in nature. Most likely I’m going to forget about it, which will mean I’ll be watching Rugby alone… Please for the love of all things green do not read this and respond with offers to watch rugby with me… Sales Voicemails “ Just wondered if you want to watch the Rugby tonight – call me back” Not exactly urgent but this certainly going to get a response at some point. I found that my voicemail was getting full up with 3 particular types of message… Personal VM’s I’ll get to what I changed it to in a minute… but, I should add, this particular voicemail tip may only work for people in the Cyber Security industry. That said, love it or hate it, changing my voicemail was one of the best time saving exercises I’ve ever done. I’ve been told that my voicemail is like marmite – you either love it or hate it.
