Aja Frost says, “In the past month, I’ve received around 60 voicemails from 20 salespeople. This was by design: I signed up for free trials, filled out forms, registered for webinars, and requested to speak to sales specialists so I could learn how reps at different companies and industries left voicemails.

Despite the variety of products, verticals, and target markets, most salespeople left the exact same voicemail:

Hi Aja, this is John from Company X. Uh, I’d love to talk to you about how [product] can help you with your [business area] goals. Can you give me a call at 907-867-5309? That’s, uh, 907-867-5309. I look forward to hearing from you. Have a good day.”

These messages were boring, generic, and completely devoid of value. In addition, the salespeople usually sounded like they were reciting a script — which would have made me feel even less motivated to call them back if I was actually looking to buy something”.
