5.0 out of 5 stars Are you a Sales Pro Frustrated by Voicemail?, November 22, 2000

By	Dan Seidman (SalesAutopsy.com) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book has increased my effectiveness, December 4, 1999

By	Ephraim Schachter (New York, New York) - See all my reviews

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars THIS READ WILL MAKE YOU $$$ AND SAVE YOU AGGRAVATION, October 27, 1999

By	Mary A. Keller "[e-mail]" (Whittier, California USA) - See all my reviews

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!
