Ever receive a call back from a voicemail?

Has anyone received a call back from a voicemail before? Is there anything creative that should be said in the call to create urgency for a call back rather than same old shit?

If I do it's because I said I was also sending an email during the voicemail. Then they reply from the email follow up.

^^exactly. I get lots of call backs and email responses from voicemails, but it's usually from a combination of voicemail touches and email touches that I've put on them. I use VM more as a way to point them to my emails.ย

Yes, but it's rare. I find cold voicemails to be a waste of time.

I get email replys - telling someone to call back is too much to ask

I used to just leave my name and number when leaving messages and would get a few call backs. They would then quickly realize my intention and make up the dumbest excuses to get off the phone

Not at all. The main ones I get are when the prospect thinks I'm someone else. VM's are a waste of time, I'd rather just send an email and cross my fingers.ย

The most Iโ€™ve ever gotten is a guy who called me back to let me know he didnโ€™t wanna talk to meโ€ฆsaid normally he just ignores people but figured I deserved a call since I โ€œwent the extra mileโ€

Once... I don't think it had anything to do with what I said other than being the right moment.ย

When I first started & was making about 100 calls/day to SMB I got about 10x return calls/day with this voicemail.ย  I stopped using it because it made me feel slimy & I actually hate surprise inbound calls.

(sound desperate) "Hey xxxx, it's xxxxx. I had a couple questions and was really hoping you could help me out for a second.ย  My number is xxxxxx"ย
