When recording your outgoing voicemail message most people are pretty cautious about what and how they say what they are trying to get across. Most people want to sound friendly and to give the necessary information that is to be recorded,in a short and sweet memo.
To record a clever and effective voicemail message there are a few things that you need to remember and take into consideration. Make sure to state your name and phone number so that the caller is able to identify if they have called the correct person. Also make sure to let the person know that you will call them back as soon as possible, make it short and sweet, and use a friendly tone of voice. A friendly greeting and farewell is always something nice to add to your voice mail as well.
When trying to remember things we all have different ways that we go about retaining the information. When it comes to numbers we may have the hardest time when trying to memorize phone numbers. If we are unable to write the phone number down we usually continually repeat the number to ourselves, sometimes only to forget (for those of us that don’t have a memory equivalent to an elephant) it moments later. As a universal rule we are typically able to remember seven digits, plus or minus two, meaning anywhere between five to nine digits at a time.
So, when you are trying to remember a phone number this rule can come in handy. A local phone number that includes the same area code as your phone number contains will be easier for you to remember because it only has seven digits. It is also easier to remember if you think of it as two separate bits of information, the first three digits as one and the last four as the other. When taking into account a phone number that encompasses a different area code that yours it may be slightly harder to remember, but is still only ten digits long, which is close to the nine digit maximum that is thought to be the most amount of numbers that a person can remember at a given time. This type of phone number can also be remembered without much difficulty by using the rule of grouping the numbers together as if they were one single bit of information.
The art of conversation has somewhat been lost due to text messaging, instant messaging, and the busy lives of many individuals. When receiving a phone call we are sometimes in such a hurry or have out minds on other things that we don’t take the time to use proper phone etiquette.
Practicing proper phone etiquette should be something that everyone takes the time to do out of respect for others. Here are some behaviors to keep in mind in order to have outstanding phone etiquette; I guess you could call it phonetiquette:
Do not answer the phone if you are eating or chewing.
Make sure that you speak clearly. It is rude to mumble and have others straining to hear what you are saying.
Do not place callers on hold for long periods of time. If you have another call make certain that you will not be on the line for anymore than 30 seconds, otherwise call the other person back.
Do not let a bad mood be reflected when answering the phone. Assuming that the caller is not the reason that you are feeling this way, they shouldn’t have the anger taken out on them.
Do not call too early in the morning, during dinner time, or too late in the evening. Many people may have a different sleep schedule than you. You should probably only call after 9am or before 9pm and avoid dinner time, approximately 6pm – 8pm.
When ending a telephone call be sure to say goodbye. Just hanging up the phone may be an indication that the conversation is over, but it is an extremely rude indication.
By using these rules and some others that you may already know of you will be someone that other actually want to call and enjoy speaking with over the phone.
