Callers will Leave Messages if you Record your Own Greeting

Do you sometimes wonder why no one ever leaves a message on your answer phone when you’re unable to take a call? The best way to find out why is to ask yourself the same question. When you call someone up and get that bog standard, out-of-the-box audio message, what do you do? You most likely hang up your landline or cell phone before the recording has even finished its first sentence.

It’s not the concept of recorded messages that fails, it’s the recorded messages. Let’s explain further. Audio can refer to transmitted or reproduced sound and depending on that sound depends on whether or not it’s useful. When done correctly, the voice can be an extremely powerful medium for all manner of situations. So it’s not the equipment or the concept, it’s how you use it.

If you don’t believe this, then why now record your own funny answering machine messages and see if your callers will leave their message after the tone. Honestly, recording your own voice, and adding a touch of humour, or ‘life’ to your voice, is really helpful advice.

Information technology of all kinds is only useful when it is used correctly, so:

“Please, I beg you, I’ll marry you even, if only you leave me a message after the tone, pretty pleaaase – Beep!
