For many years the voice mails I've left are very close to the format Sig2340 laid out. And, if I expect a specific detail(s) in their response, I include it in the message. Sometimes successful, sometimes not. * * * * * * * High capacity is not an acceptable substitute for good marksmanship. | |||

I almost never leave voicemails unless it's something work related to the outside world, and 99% of the time, all those communications are done via email. Work related stuff to colleagues is email or text...or just walking down the hall to find them. When I do leave a voicemail, I provide my contact info, as appropriate, and some message about why I'm calling, even if it's "returning your call". I usually provide my availability for a follow-up call as well. ---------------------------- Chuck Norris put the laughter in "manslaughter" Educating the youth of America, one declension at a time. | |||

Hello, my name is Will G...my number is .......a brief message, and again, my name is Will G...my number is ....thanks and have a good day. Unless it's family, I'll say something to the effect "It's me, nothing important, call me when it's convenient, thanks" If it's important, I'll state that to family members coupled with a quick text. Regards, Will G. | |||

Yeah that drives me nuts. I say my name and number slowly and then repeat it a second time slowly. NRA Benefactor Life Member | |||

Really the only time I leave a voicemail is for work and my calls are confidential and most times I am not certain the voicemail is tied to the person I need to speak with so I only say who I am, my phone number, and I need them to call me back. I don’t leave details as to what it is about in case someone else has access to the voicemail. NRA Benefactor Life Member | |||

Always include my name, callback number, and the reason for the call. It takes next-to-no time. "Call me back's" left for me don't get a reply. Reasons being: 1) I don't 'chat' (aka waste time discussing trivia) on the phone and my friends know this, 2) I have zero curiosity about other people's myriad possible motivations to call, 3) if the topic is important, they will call back and either reach me or leave a more info the second time, and 4) if it's not important/urgent enough for the caller to leave information in the first place, it's definitely not important/urgent for me to need to call them back. | |||

Well, while I was considering one, it brought to mind the other. I’ve been working on my patience since 1983. I see that I’m failing miserably. Thanks for listening. | |||

IF personal, sort of. I say if it is important, or not important. I might even give a 15 second preview of the conversation I'm seeking. MOST of the time I don't leave a voicemail, I hang up and text a quick note. IF professional, I always say something. Often, the something needs to be said carefully so as to allow the client some professional privacy. I always repeat my name, company name, and office phone number with extension at least 3 times. Once at the beginning and twice at the end, slow enough for most people to write it down. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "The trouble with our Liberal friends...is not that they're ignorant, it's just that they know so much that isn't so."
