Leaving voicemails can be intimidating: The recording starts quickly, the time you have to speak is limited, and only some answering machines give you the option to review and re-record your message if you mess up.  You often have one shot, and a limited time-frame, to get your message across.

Most people try to rush and explain everything they do in 15 seconds. This DOESN’T WORK!  Not only is this overwhelming, but it’s akin to showing all your cards in a game of poker.  Effective voicemails provide a warm introduction, leave enough room for curiosity, and provide a reason your lead should call you back.
