What's best voicemail?

What is your best voicemail?

Do you like to give some information to prep or pre-screen the lead or are you just trying to get their contact info?

It seems that the majority of people posting here on BP prefer to let their calls go voice mail.  I could understand this if your just too busy to answer the phone at that moment or if your doing so well wholesaling already you can take the chance of missing a potential lead.  I personally come from a background of phone sales. I worked at the U.S Gold Firm, selling US legal tender gold, silver, and platinum... We advertised in large newspapers and magazines countrywide.  We would get a heads up when the ad's were going to hit and made sure that every phone call was answered ASAP! We would forward the phone to a cell at the end of the day and someone was responsible for answering calls until the following morning. I know for a fact that letting your calls go unanswered will hurt your closing ratio.   When someone call's from an ad they are in the "ether" ready to make a move. If you give someone to much time they will quickly lose motivation/interest to deal with you.  Always Be Closing. Good Luck
