Biz Tip of the Day: Be Up Front With Business:

Biz Tip of the Day: Be Up Front With Business: Clients and Prospective Clients have had it with phony friendliness. You want to be cordial and professional in person, and on the phone. Here is a good example for the phone:

“Jack, this is Amy Jones at 212.555.5555. Please call and let me know when I can share some ideas I have to help solve some of your marketing problems."

Another good example is:

"Hi Jack, this is Amy Jones at 212-555-5555. I was reading a new study in the WSJ today revealing the amount of time employees are wasting surfing the Internet while at work. It reminded me of you. When we last spoke, you mentioned this was a major issue for you. Please call me to discuss how we can solve this problem for you. Once again, my number is 212-555-5555."

When leaving a voice-mail, you need to remember that your title and even the name of your company are irrelevant.
