The first cardinal rule of voicemail is if they don’t return your call, you MUST use a different approach. Be creative but do not continue to leave the same voicemail time and again because I guarantee it won’t be returned. You will also be viewed as an annoyance.
Once you’ve decided to leave a voicemail , do not leave your name and number because they simply are not going to call you back. Leave a very brief message that suggests your relationship and indicate that you will call again at a specific time.

Another technique that can be very valuable in getting past voicemail is to establish a relationship with the receptionist or the operator. Typically, they have little human interaction on the phone-often they will welcome a personal conversation. An approach that can be used with a person in this position might be, “I know that you are busy with incoming calls, so feel free to put me on hold if necessary. Please tell me who might be in charge of buying cleaning supplies for your organization?” This person knows better than anyone who is handling what tasks, because it is their job.
