Leaving Voicemail for an “I” – DISC Tip
October 21, 2011 | Comments Off
It’s an “I” Greeting When You Hear:
Words: “Hi, you’ve reached Karen. I wish I was here to take your call, but I’m probably out making some customers happy. Leave me a message, and I’ll get back to you soon. Hope you have an awesome day!”
Pace: Rapid, spontaneous, unstructured.
Tone: Upbeat, animated, happy-go-lucky.
Leaving Voicemail for an “I”:
1. Use a warm expressive tone of voice.
2. Give the impression that you are upbeat.
3. Suggest a meeting where you can share ideas.
4. If appropriate, give them your “private” number.
5. Let them know the first meeting is exploratory.
Example: “Hi Karen, it’s Sally. I’m really excited about working together on the Blitzen Project. If you’d like, perhaps we can get the ball rolling over coffee. You can reach me at home at 858-123-4567. I look forward to hearing from you.”
