How To Leave A Voicemail for Multiple People In a Group At Once
You just got out of your client meeting and you need to chat about the reactions to your super sales pitch and get moving on the action steps…what do you do? Pick-up the phone and call someone back at the office and then tell them to relay the message to everyone else on the team…because you have to get to the next meeting pronto!
You’re finally out of work and hope that a couple of the guys might want to meet-up for a meal and drinks, but you’re tired and don’t want to call everyone up one at a time…you just wish you could tell everyone to meet-up at the Diner @ 8pm.
Somehow, the conference room you booked is taken and your meeting got bumped to another room in a different wing or different floor, you need a way to tell everyone quickly of the room change so your meeting doesn’t start late and kill the 1st half hour waiting for stragglers to arrive…you’re in the halls and don’t have everyone’s extension or cell #’s. You just want to let everyone know to go to the new meeting room.

It’s faster then calling everyone down the list. It’s easier than repeating the same thing over and over again.
