April 28, 2010Scary voice mails. Consider yours from the receiver perspective.
This voice mail wasn’t as scary as the message the FBI agent left. I didn’t know for days that he was calling to hire me to speak. And it wasn’t as scary as the IRS agent’s message. She called to hire me too.She might have mentioned the order of her business in her voice mail.
It wasn’t as scary as those messages, but it did get my adrenaline going. It was from a CD replicator who was filling a rush order for me. I had to get this order on time. So when he left a message today – the day the order should ship – that message said,
- Call me. I need to talk to you.
I was unnerved. I also was in a meeting and couldn’t call for several hours.
He had called to tell me about a change in how the invoice would be formatted. My order had shipped.
Do you have tales like this? Have you received voice mails that left your imagination racing? And have you done the same?
Don’t leave scary voice mails. Consider them from your receiver’s perspectives. Especially if you work for the FBI or the IRS.
