Call Recordings Archives - Art Sobczak's Smart Calling

Thanks to everyone who commented on the voice mail recording from last week. As expected, you, my astute audience of sales pros had no problem picking out the flaws that doom such messages to rapid voice mail deletion. I replied to the comments there at the blog (you can still go there, listen, and leave […] The post ANOTHER Cold Call Voice Message; What About THIS One? appeared first on Art Sobczak's Smart Calling.

Some people think I make up the horrible call recordings I share with you. Nope. In fact, as you read this, thousands–if not hundreds of thousands of calls are being placed, and messages are being left that have zero, zilch, nada chance of success. Just ask anyone at your company, or any business owner or […] The post A COLD Call Voice Mail; Your Thoughts? appeared first on Art Sobczak's Smart Calling.

I’ve posted lots of actual call examples over the years, and those of you who have been in my live training have experienced many others as well.

Take a listen. https://smartcalling.comnewsite/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/ITGuy.mp3 So, […] The post What Do You Think About This Prospecting Call I Received? appeared first on Art Sobczak's Smart Calling.

Have a listen…  LISTEN TO SALES VOICE MESSAGE What are your thoughts on this one? Ever heard […] The post You Won’t Believe This “Tired” Sales Voicemail Message appeared first on Art Sobczak's Smart Calling.

Perhaps this guy was tired, maybe having a bad day, and hopefully he doesn’t leave this type of message regularly. Or maybe he does. Take a […] The post What Do You Think About This Voice Message? appeared first on Art Sobczak's Smart Calling.

A few weeks ago I shared a voice mail sent in by a fellow reader. It wasn’t bad, other than being a flat out lie, and probably a scam. Here’s another one, pretty much identical, from a female caller this time. And again, the person who received it had never, ever spoken with this company […] The post Scammer Voice Mail, Part 2–They’re Using the Same Script appeared first on Art Sobczak's Smart Calling.

As if using the phone in sales and prospecting wasn’t challenging enough on its own, we also have to deal with working in an environment where there are scumbag scam artists duping unsuspecting targets.
