Best practice when leaving voice mails is leaving your phone number twice. That’s right…twice.
One of my pet peeves is when people leave me a message where they speak too fast and leave their phone number once. I end up having to replay the message 7 times hoping to be able at some point to make out the number. Yes, I understand there is such a thing as caller id. That may not always work, however.
Do yourself a favor. When leaving a message that you would like returned, speak slowly and repeat the number. My guess is you will see a higher “hit ratio” on returned calls.
