I was creating my strategy the other week for my new companies voicemail strategy, my views of a company, business, life, relationships are that you should be “different” and stand out from the crowd. Now I don’t mean stand out loudly from the crowd, but be quietly different none the less, becuase a good quiet confidence with a strategy that is different really helps you be noticed in all situations.

So I decided to use my voicemail different, what I’ve decided to do is what most business owners would “NEVER” do… And that’s update my voicemail each and “EVERY” day without fail.

What’s the point of spending a few minutes each night updating my voicemail you might ask, well for starters it shows that you’re on the ball and have a fresh message each day, so that is very refreshing for people to hear, especially those who contact you all the time. It also shows that you’re around and that you’re business is bubbling away nicely (sort of like blogging, if you go to a blog post and see the last post was 2 years ago, sort of makes you leave very quickly as there is now life on that blog).

So what I do each night before bed with my voicemail is, call in and state they’ve reached me and my company and the day, date and month, then I give them a different message for leaving a message and finally a unique thought of the day, tip, snippet of knowledge from my business experience, life experience or someone elses business or life, that has inspired me.

This strategy has since gotten me a lot of positive feedback from others who noticed it, and some have even decided to do it themselves…

I hope you take on this strategy also, as it’s one that will certainly see you stand out in your marketplace, and it can be one of your many ways of beginning to be very different to others in a marketplace full of “SHEEP” following eaching other…

If you’re going to be a sheep, be a Black one … BAAAAA LOL!!!
