Laura Stack, MBA, CSP, CPAE Talks Voicemail and Productivity

Oct. 21, 2015 - PRLog -- Laura Stack, also known as The Productivity Pro, is talking voicemail etiquette in her latest blog. The blog, which was published on October 20th, clearly defines how one form of communication (voicemail) is used incorrectly. She also discusses how a simple communication tool can lead to productivity or miscommunication issues.

“Leaving and responding to a voicemail seems fairly rudimentary. It is a simple tool, right? Well, my blog discusses the psychology behind leaving and responding to a voicemail and why employers should set-up a uniform response system for better productivity,” said Stack.

Please Leave A Message, the blog, offers eye-opening tips on communicating using voicemail. One of the tips suggests considering the other person's time, something that is often overlooked in today's work culture. The blog states that one thing everyone should be doing, when it comes to voicemail, is to ensure he or she responds to voicemails efficiently, which means actually checking for messages.

"When a voicemail box so full no one can leave a message, it comes across as sloppy and unprofessional. And you don't know what the message is about if you don’t check it—only that you missed a call from a friend or a colleague. Being as busy as we are these days, remembering to check our call log and listen to voicemail can easily be overlooked at the end of the day, which can lead to a whole new set of issues as the caller feels ignored. Further, when you miss and don't return a call from a client, it can impact business," finished Stack.

Please Leave A Message can be accessed at Laura Stack’s website, The ProductivityPro.com.  The popular website also offers a variety of free resources, productivity videos, quizzes, and a chance for business owners and decision makers to gain access to her company’s free 6-Day Productivity email course.
