Using Voicemail To Your Best Advantage

An often overlooked benefit of your voicemail is driving traffic to your website.

Savvy agents add their web address into their voicemail. How many voicemails do get everyday? 10 voicemails a day = 3,650 people a year! There are many people who try to contact you everyday. Most of the time the information they are looking for is on your web site (and if it is not, let’s get it on there!) Here are some examples:

“Hello. Thanks for calling, I’m sorry I can’t take your call right now, but please leave me a message and I’ll get back to you as soon as I can. Don’t forget that you can always view my listings and get free local information online at my website - www.YourDomain.com. Have a great day!”

“This is [NAME] and I’m not in right now, but please leave a message, or for immediate assistance, 24 hours a day, you can reach me on the web at www.YourDomain.com”

“You’ve reached [NAME], Sorry I’m not in right now but please leave a message or you can reach me on the web at www.YourDomain.com for answers to your questions, Free Local Information, or just browsing listings”

“This is [NAME], I’m not in right now, but please leave me a message and I’ll get back to you as soon as I can. . .by the way, to view up to date listings, and do a home search in the local area please visit www.YourDomain.com. Thank you very much, and have a great day.”

If at all possible give them 2 reasons to go to your site. One real estate reason and one reason that is not necessarily directly related to Real Estate, such as area information, information on local schools, maps, etc.   That way everyone has a reason to go to your site even if they are not in the market for your services.

It’s a simple thing to do and a very effective way to get people to your website - and best of all - it’s FREE!
