\n<\/strong>This person may be nervous, or they simply might be forgetful. Either way, you\u2019re missing some important information on their call. The Lost Information often forgets the information you need to get back to them: their full name, their phone number, their order number, and even the question they called to ask in the first place! While caller ID can help, chances are you\u2019ll need to return their call\u2014or even do some research and guesswork to figure out whether they\u2019re an existing customer\u2014before you can actually help them with their request.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>Unlike The Lost Information, you don\u2019t have to track down the information this caller forgot\u2014that\u2019s what their second message is for! The Double-Caller can be very helpful because they fill in the additional information you missed in the first message. However, it\u2019s a good idea to take notes while listening to their messages because the important details might be split between the two messages.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>You\u2019re going to need to listen to this message a few times! The Mumbler doesn\u2019t speak quite loud enough into their phone, but without a person on the other end of the line they didn\u2019t have a chance to adjust their volume while leaving their message. As a result, you might have to listen again to catch what they are saying.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>Like the mumbler, you\u2019re going to need to listen to this message more than once to make sure you\u2019ve caught anything. When you\u2019re dealing with a Speedy Speaker, they might be perfectly clear, but they speak so quickly that you may only catch part of the important information when you listen the first time. The Speedy Speaker might also surprise you by leaving a message at normal speed but rattling off their contact information so quickly that you can barely catch it. Either way, get ready to listen a few times.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>This person didn\u2019t intend to leave a message\u2014in fact, they didn\u2019t even intend to call! The Unintended Visitor dialed you accidentally, and their voicemail message reflects it. You might hear muted conversation, clothing rustling around the pocket the phone was in, or vehicle noise. The good news, though, is that you don\u2019t need to worry about returning this call.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>This character in your voicemail is doing their best to leave a great message, but something keeps getting in the way. Someone might be talking to them while they try to leave the message, or they might be talking in a busy area. Whatever the reason, the Distracted Dialer is just that\u2014distracted. As a result, like the Lost Information, some important details might be missing.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>We all want The Final Word in our voicemail! Their messages are short, sweet, and to the point. They include all the information you need to get back to them about their question. Their messages aren\u2019t just great to receive: they also allow you to return the call quickly and get back to your day.<\/p>\n
