Among salespeople who make prospecting calls, there’s a hot debate about whether or not you should leave a voicemail message, according to www.eyesonsales.com.

Some experts say you should leave a message, but only once every three days.

For a voicemail to have any impact, however, you have to avoid the common blunders… and many of them are easy to make.

According to the website,  the top 20 mistakes made by sales people include:

- failing to stick to one topic per voicemail message
- not verifying that you have the right contact before leaving multiple messages
- forgetting to mention a common colleague or someone who has referred you

The full list can be found on the www.eyesonsales.com website.
