Do me a favor… go call 10 coach’s voice mail message at random.

They all sound pretty much the same, right?

It’s a shame, because voice mail is a coach’s first point of contact with a potential client.  And precious few of them really think through exactly what needs to be on that vital message.  It can actually be the difference between success and failure in a coach’s practice… I know that sounds harsh, but I think 25 years of experience gives me the right to make that assessment.

I agonized, tested, and tracked my voice mail messages for years until I found one that worked amazingly well.  But you don’t have to go through that, because I’ve published it, along with the full rationale, in this tiny little CHEAT SHEET:

• What to REPEAT in your message and why it’s so important (hint: it’s not your name)…
• Never answer the phone like this.  Do one simple thing instead to create an instant bond with potential clients…
• Subtly build your credibility by asking these KEY questions to demonstrate your compassion and attention to detail…
• 4 things your outgoing message ABSOLUTELY MUST have to reassure and bond potential clients to you (and it’s much more that just a soothing voice)…
• Why your voice mail message can actually be the difference between success and failure in your practice…
• The voice mail shortcut you must give your existing clients (or risk losing them)…
• Why spontaneous answers over the phone almost never work.  (Why listening first and taking your time to breathe before responding is almost always much more powerful)…
• 5 deadly mistakes even experienced coaches make on their voice mail to turn off potential clients and keep their practices frighteningly small…
• An easy service even beginners can use to help create confidentiality and professional appearance…
• Always be sure you are feeling these two emotions before you actually record your voice mail message…
