Sales Jails

Voice mail is a wonderful convenience. Unless you are in sales. In that case, there is no voice mail. There is only voice jail. A place where no one ever returns your call. A place where you wait and you wait and you wait, while the game goes on without you. Until you pick up one of these:

To get out of voice jail and back in the game, flip over the card and read the five quick tips Robroy has printed on the back for you:

1. Expect to leave a message.
2. Know that your sole mission is to get a call back.
3. Plan what you will say.
4. Keep it short.
5. Practice on your own voice mail.

Think these rules don’t apply to you? Think you can just keep winging it and get all your calls returned? Then you might as well go back to jail. Go directly to jail. Do not pass go. Do not collect $200.
