I personally view it as a wasted dial otherwise. I always leave a simple message that receives an 85% callback rate. "Hello Billy Bob, this is Dman1b calling with a quick question and I appreciate your help. I can be reached at 867-5309." I have a plain VM greeting on desk phone that does not mention my company only my name. They will call back because people love to help........some will be angry when they realize the truth, don't let it bother you. In fact, I should start recording these calls so General Corp. can reenact them! There has been a few absolute classics!!!
To Leave, Or Not To Leave.........VM When Cold Calling??
