Posted by Deb BixlerTechnology To Craft A Powerful Voice Mail Message
On this evening’s tele-seminar, Direct Selling Academy’s CEO Jeff Zalewski shared his unique software program to craft a message with urgency. Technology can impact your ability to connect and Jeff has developed technology to overcome that struggle. Jeff Zalewski is a Certified Training Consultant and Success Coach for the Direct Selling Industry with a proven track record of success. On our call he shared his solution to be sure you get return calls when you leave a message. He also gave everyone who was on the call a generous gift of a free CD by visiting his site.
Jeff shared the Four Critical Elements of a High Impact Message
- Legitimate Valid Business Reason
- Creates Curiosity
- Creates a Sense of Urgency
- It Is Personalized
It is important to have a well scripted message, and just winging it doesn’t usually work. Check out Jeff’s scripting tool here.
Technology Impacts Home Business Sales Consultants
One of the advantages of living in the 21st century is technology. This is a double-edged sword — it can be a good thing, and it can be a bad thing. Check out the previous post on the impacts of technology on communication in home businesses.
Create Voice Mail Scripts – Don’t Let Technology Hold You Back
- Never open the door to cancellations by using the word cancel.
- Always assume that it is a done deal. (whatever IT is)
- Never use vague or negative word choices such as: If, might, could, should, worried, wondering
- Replace those words with positive words and phrases: when, do, will.
- Always smile, stand up and be excited.
- Take joint responsibility by using phrases like: “When we (send out the invitations, invite 40 people, etc.)”, “Our goal is______”.
Taking the time to create powerful positive voice mail messages will open the door for future connections and assist in better home business communications. When you leave no message, you will never connect. When you leave a powerful message, you have a much better chance of getting a return call.

Great tips listed here. I especially like the joint responsibility. I’m always looking for ways to improve my contacts with prospects. Thanks for the information!
