Best Practices....setting up phones and email

[Jacob Barnhill]

I love getting on the phone and helping people, but I'd be interested how you all are streamlining your business. I'm not a fan of the voicemail cause I know that most don't leave a message. I know cause I miss my calls from time to time and then they never pick up no matter how many times I follow up. 

All ideas whether you are currently using strategies or only heard about them are welcome! 

Thanks BP :)

Make your VM message and email signature very clear as to what you do. As a buyer, when I get cryptic messages on either medium from wholesalers I ignore them. If I get a clear message and return the call my "first" impression is their message on the other end if they don't answer. If it's automated or doesn't identify them by what they do I hang up before leaving the message and I never call back. It's not always the best way I know, but I deal with enough opportunities that I'll just go find someone who takes that aspect of their business a little more seriously.
