What's the best way to leave multiple voicemails for someone?

The first voicemail should be well said with the purpose and the reason for the message. The second one should be a friendly tone of voice, to remind and follow up, and don't sound that are upset that you had to call them again. Keep your cool

5 Quick Tips for Effective Multiple Voicemails Leaving multiple voicemails for someone doesn't have to be a hassle. Here are five quick tips to make sure your messages are on point: 1. Plan Ahead: Outline your key points before calling to stay focused and avoid repetition. 2. Keep It Short: Aim for 30 seconds or less to maintain clarity and respect the recipient's time. 3. Personalize Each Message: Address the person by name and reference shared experiences or interactions. 4. Be Clear About Purpose: Clearly state why you're calling to avoid confusion. 5. Mind the Frequency: Space out your calls appropriately to prevent overwhelming the recipient. Voicemails can be effective and respectful with these tips in mind!

When leaving a message, it's important to plan what you want to say and keep it concise. Write down the main points, like your name, reason for calling, and contact details. Avoid rambling and keep it under 30 seconds.

Don't. Have a clear train of thought of what you want to convey and do just that. It helps to jot down on a few reminders to ensure you keep the voice message short and precise.

When you're leaving a voicemail it's important to be concise and the message has to be clear. In this example I'll show you how a recruiter leaves a voice message for a candidate: "Hi [candidate's name], this is [my name] from [company name] and I'm calling you regarding your application. You can call me on [my number] so we can plan an interview for your role as [candidate's role]. Have a nice day!" This way you have the most important information in the voice message and the candidate knows what you called for and how to get back to you.

It’s always helpful to go into a situation such as this with the attitude of being helpful. Speak to the patient in a way they can relate and always show compassion.

If someone hasn't responded to your first voicemail, mention it. "Hello, this is Josephine from New Day Counseling calling again for John Doe. Please call me back."

Certain information is very helpful for the voice email like who are you, from where you are calling (company name), the purpose for the call, alternate way to reach them back (email address and phone number). Follow up again on the next working day if there is no response from the user.

If someone doesn't respond and you have to impose a consequence (e.g. you are calling to collect a balance.) mention what will happen next (e.g. the account will be sent to collections). Otherwise, at some point, you stop calling.

Remember there are other ways to connect when voicemails aren't working. Don't bombard them with messages on all platforms; instead, pick your messages carefully based on the circumstance and your connection.

It's best to first check what the person's preferred method of contact is, if someone wrote down by mail and phone then you can contact them on both. An example voicemail would be: "Hi [person's name], you're speaking with [your name] you received my e-mail last Monday. I'd like you to remind you of the offer I've made and you've until next Friday to respond. If you've any questions about this then you can get back to me by phone or mail. My phone number is [your number]. Wish you a nice evening!"

If you really need to talk to them via the phone, perhaps instead of leaving another voicemail and perhaps calling them at an inconvenient time, email them and ask them when would be a good time for you to have a brief phone conversation with them.

If this is for an important business-related call, explain what will happen next. ("If I do not hear back from you by *DATE* your account will be closed.") If this is social, move on.

I don't leave more than 2 messages unless it's about collecting a balance. If it's about a balance, I mention what is happening next if they don't follow up (e.g. collections). If it's social, no need.

In general terms, I would normally use a 1, 2, 3 approach. 1. Leaving a breif message with time/date called, outling the reason for the call 2. Sending a txt/email, a brief follow up to see if they recieved the initial message, including an approximate timeframe for which you would like a response. (Eg: it would be great if you could please get back to me before 5pm today) 3. Final call, introducing yourself again, following up regarding previous messages left, apologising you have been unable to reach them and leave the invitation open for them to reach out at their convenience. Always leave the message in a way that the receiver can feel comfortable reaching out in their own time, if the situation allows.

In general you want to wait a few days in between voicemails so the person does not feel pressured. If you leave a voicemail on Monday you can leave another voicemail on Friday, so let there be at least a space of five days. Your final voicemail will be the third one, that's also after five days. That way you've given the person enough time to call you back and you made sure that they didn't erroneously delete your previous voicemails.

When should you quit harassing someone with voicemails is a common quandary. My general guideline is to put the brakes on after three or four messages go unanswered. You don't want to sound pushy or bothersome, unless it's a really emergency.

If it is a friend Well they usually call right back but if I had to leave multiple I'd be like I am worried let me know if your OK If it is a Client I'd would leave different short messages and I will follow-up with an email. Coworkers I would first lead with the Problem Solution I felt would work. Then it would be follow-up with I do need your perspective on this....... Then I would put a meeting on the calendar adding their supervisor and mine. Advise of the problem solution. I really feel Professionalism should matter. Compassion and understanding is important however communication need to be both ways. All parties should participate.
