How many times do we call our leads and there is NO answer?

How many times do we call our leads and we get voicemail?

I don't know your exact numbers, I do know that sometimes this can be frustrating...but it's important to keep TRYING.

You never know when you will connect....

One suggestion I have is to track when you call prospects. If you try them in the morning and they are not home...TRY them in the afternoon. If they are not home again, try one more time in the evening BEFORE you leave a message.

Here are my favorite messages to leave prospects...

The Curiosity Message

"Hi _________, this is ________ returning your call. I will be in today until _________ and can be reached at __________ I look forward to hearing from you again."

Hang up


The BLUNT Message

"Hi ________, this _________ with ____________, and I hope you have had some time to look at our website. We have some exciting things to share with you about our unique success system. Give me a call at ________ just as soon as you can. Thanks!"


The FEAR of LOSS Message

"Hi, ________, this is _______ calling again, I'm sure you have my number - if not - here it is _______, but the reason I am calling is because we have some INCREDIBLE...(HANG UP)

OR use this:

________, but I'm calling to let you know that...(HANG UP)


Another suggestion is to leave each prospect up to three messages. If they do not call back, keep them on in any form of follow-up to include postcards, emails, auto responders, etc...

By the way...when it comes to FOLLOW-UP calls, we need to strategize when time allows productive activity.

My last suggestion is trying the time-frames below for PRODUCTIVE calls as I know you are busy too.

1. Any weekday after Dinner and Before 9:30pm

2. Every Saturday from 10am-1pm.

3. Every Sunday after Dinner and Before 9:30pm.

I hope this helps you in working your leads!
