According to a recent marketing study: "...determined that people, male and female, prefer the sound of a woman's voice to a man's voice as a business's front-desk introduction 8.3 to 1 "

... further reducing hang-ups and increasing the chances of a potential customer to leave a message: "A woman's voice was found to have a 4 to 1 better response rate of customers leaving a message on a business voice mail rather than trying to call back or going to the next vendor..."

Tip: Having a wife, girl-friend or female friend record your voice mail out-going message is smart business for the small business owner.

Got the wife doing mine too. She was born and raised in rural Georgia, so her accent really sticks out around here and leaves an impression. Not many people forget that voice. I know I can't get it out of my head.

I thin it's a must. I have always had females leave voices on my businesse's main line. Even today at my current job we have a womans voice who hasn't been with us for nearly a year.

LOL I always did it just to make myself appear larger than I really was.

According to polls, a british accent is what Americans prefer followed by the neutral accent of Nebraska.
Hey, y'all, I use my own voice and the customers have a choice of hanging up. If you are down to this, you are doing much more that is wrong..
