Here's a book that not only offers great ideas, but sets some outstanding 'rules' to follow when getting caught up in voicemail. It's a quick read and the only book available on this topic. You'll be very glad you own this.

Bravo to Paul LeBon for this no-nonsense, easy-to-apply productivity maximizer!

I had spent the past couple of years complaining that technology is turning us all into slaves. There's so much information to keep up with. There are always so many responses and answers demanded of us to supply, that I had been feeling like I was living at the mercy of the technology that was supposed to be making my life easier.

"Escape from Voicemail Hell" is crammed with powerful ideas on how to harness the power of your voicemail to serve you, not the other way around. I have learned how to get people to leave me more concise and thought-out messages, how to approach my callbacks strategically, and how to get the information I want and need from others with a lot less effort.

I didn't even realize how much I needed this book until I picked it up. Not only do I see how much more effective I am by following its principles, but my boss and my clients have made positive comments to me, as well. I've been amazed by how simple, yet powerful it has been to turn LeBon's advice to my advantage. I highly recommend this book. I've gotten so much out of it.

I've been in business 35 years and thought I knew all the communication techniques. Boy was I wrong! This is a fast read and when I was finished I couldn't wait to try improving my voicemail communications. Of course in today's environment of Voicemail Hell that is easy to do. I left detailed, upbeat messages and I got informative and friendly responses. I'm ordering the book for two sons who are business owners. I know it will help them. I strongly recommend this book for anyone who runs a business, sells for a living, or has a family on the go. It will be the best few dollars you spend. P.S. I wish I had written the book!

I work for a telecommunications company and thought I knew how to use voicemail. This book taught me things I never thought of and has helped me deal with customer issues more efficiently. I also thought the suggestion to leave a customer a 'thank you' voicemail late in the evening was impressive. Bravo, Paul LeBon!

This book taught me to see voicemail as a way to be more effective instead of seeing it as a doorstopper. The Ten Commandments of Voicemail are so applicable and so powerful. This is an awesome book.

I really enjoyed this quick read that allows you to apply several techniques to any industry. Rich with examples in a common sense format. Highly recommended to Sales Managers who deal with salespeople and their customers.

"Paul LeBon has his fingers on the pulse of modern business. "VoicemailHell" goes beyond the mechanics of flow charts and phone systems to the real power of voicemail. It provides simple solutions-human impact solutions-that will help you improve communications with employees, strengthen business relationships with clients, and effectively manage your time. Not since the "One Minute Manager" has a business book packed such a punch!"

As a telecommunications manager for a large firm, voice messaging is one of my headaches. This book is a great help to people who fumble, mutter, speak in rapid fire, or just get nervous leaving voicemail messages. As the author says, all the telecomm industry has ever done is give out flow charts showing people which button to push for which function. This bok finally shows people how to communicate, not just press buttons!

Everyone uses voicemail, but few actually use it effectively. This book tells how to use voice mail productively and how to avoid pitfalls.

This book is a quick read that provides us with great tips on how to be more effective in our use of an underutilized tool -- voicemail. If followed, the ten tenets should make every reader more efficient in their day to day business and personal lives and free up that most elusive resource -- time. The examples given after each of the "ten commandments" are fun to read and really drive each of the writer's points home. This is a book every business person -- and really, non-business person, too -- must read and follow. If everyone obeyed the tenets of the book, it would make all of our lives alot easier!
