Some of my best examples of what NOT to say in my Smart Calling training programs are from recordings of calls I have received. I’m sharing one with you today of a cold call voice mail message and would like your comments. Next week I will give my recommendations as to what this guy should do.

First, a little background:

I have received this same, exact cold call voice mail, from the same person, no fewer than 10 times over the past six months. After a while I thought it might be a recording, but he changed his ending to “Have a happy new year” on New Year’s Eve when he left it.

At the company’s site (which has minimal info) I can tell they are a temporary help staffing company.

I have not yet spoken to the rep live.

Please listen to the call, then leave your comments below.
