Your Voicemail Greeting is a LIE

[Jake Kucheck]

I can't tell you how many times I've heard "I'm either on the other line or helping clients".

Really? Your life consists of nothing besides being on the phone, or helping clients? Perhaps sometimes even helping clients by talking to them on the phone?

Is it just real estate agents that have taken "the appearance of a busy schedule" to this level, or do other professions do this as well?

Also annoying: "Thanks for calling Joe Smith with Century 21, million dollar producer". Maybe in some markets this is impressive, but in mine this means you sold two houses (or maybe one). Congrats.

I'm sure others have heard similarly annoying voicemail greetings, it would be great to get those out in the open so we can teach our fellow agents to avoid them...
