PROMPT

Create a skill called "Voicemail + Follow-Up Bot". When I indicate a call went to voicemail, do three things: (1) Provide a personalized voicemail script based on the prospect's context — keep it under 30 seconds, casual, with a specific reason for calling. (2) Draft a follow-up email referencing the voicemail ("I just left you a quick message about...") with a clear CTA. (3) Log both activities to CRM with notes. Track per-script callback rates so I know which approaches work. Let me save multiple voicemail templates and auto-select based on prospect persona or deal stage.

How It Works

When a call goes to voicemail, trigger this skill. It drops a pre-recorded or

AI-personalized voicemail, sends a follow-up email referencing the voicemail

("I just left you a quick message about..."), and logs both activities to CRM.

Three minutes of work compressed into seconds.

What You Get

  • Personalized voicemail scripts based on prospect context
  • Coordinated follow-up email triggered within 5 minutes of the voicemail
  • CRM auto-logging of both voicemail and email
  • Sequence advancement (moves prospect to next step automatically)
  • Voicemail performance tracking: callback rates by script variant

Setup Steps

  1. Record 3-5 voicemail templates for different scenarios
  2. Create matching follow-up email templates
  3. Connect your dialer and email
  4. Set the delay between voicemail and follow-up email (default: 5 minutes)

Tips

  • Keep voicemails under 30 seconds — anything longer gets deleted
  • The email should reference the voicemail specifically to create continuity
  • Test different voicemail scripts monthly — callback rates vary wildly
  • "I'll send you a quick email with details" as a VM closer increases email open rates
