SALES QUESTION:
"My decision makers let everything go to voicemail. I posted my dilemma on a LinkedIn sales group asking for advice and one person said I should simply call, give my number, leave my first name and say "I have a question for you" and then hang up. What are your thoughts on this type of strategy?"
SalesBuzz Answer:
This is called the Vague Voicemail Strategy and it's very damaging to your reputation and wallet.
Leaving a vague voicemail message isn't going to help you win new business.

You’ve met this person.  They are brilliant.  Their ideas creative.  And---no one wants to work, interact or ‘hang’ with them.  This high IQ person doesn’t show empathy when a colleague shares a vulnerable story or concern.   He is aggressive rather than assertive.  She looks and sounds arrogant, even if she’s not.  Lots of brains and little ability to connect and build relationships with others.
