The Science of Voicemails That Get Callbacks
The average business professional receives 25+ voicemails per day, yet only 5% get returned. The difference between voicemails that get callbacks and those that get deleted comes down to three factors: length, curiosity, and value.
The 20-Second Rule
Research shows that voicemails between 18-22 seconds have the highest callback rates. Shorter voicemails feel incomplete, while longer ones lose attention. Your goal is to create enough curiosity to warrant a callback without giving away so much information that they feel they don't need to.
The Anatomy of a Perfect Voicemail
1. The Hook (3-5 seconds)
Start with something unexpected. Skip "Hi, this is [name] from [company]" - that immediately signals a sales call. Instead, lead with a pattern interrupt or personalized reference.
2. The Value Statement (8-10 seconds)
One clear, specific value proposition. Not features. Not a list of services. One compelling reason they should care.
3. The CTA (5-7 seconds)
Clear next step and your callback number. Speak slowly when leaving your number - it's the most important part.
Voicemail Best Practices
- Smile while recording: It changes your tone and energy.
- Stand up: Your voice has more energy and confidence.
- Don't sound scripted: Use notes, not a word-for-word script.
- Leave your number twice: At a slower pace than normal conversation.
- Time your follow-up: The best time to call back is 30 minutes after leaving a voicemail.
Common Voicemail Mistakes
- Starting with "Hi, this is [name] calling from [company]"
- Saying "I'm just calling to..." or "I wanted to reach out about..."
- Leaving voicemails longer than 30 seconds
- Not leaving a callback number, or rushing through it
- Sounding scripted or monotone
- Asking them to call back without giving a reason to
