Reducing Telephone Disturbances
Based upon advice in The 4-hour Workweek I’ve modified my voicemail message today to …
Hi, This is the voicemail of Martin Pavion at The True Potential Group Incorporated. I’m not available right now so please either:
Leave a brief message with your email address so that we can reply back to you outside of office hours if need be.
If the matter is urgent then please contact me by cellphone
Otherwise please send a brief email to [EMAIL] and I’ll get back to you as soon as possible.
Thank You
I’ve deliberately not provided my cellphone number because, the only people who’ll ever need to contact me urgently will already have it.
Now that this message is in place, I’m a lot happier logging into Skype now. Previously, when I’d been busy, I’d leave Skype unchecked for days, knowing that as soon as I switched it on I’d face a queue of messages where customers would expect me to stay up past midnight to return their call.
