Hey, guys, what's up?
It's Christine Seale, the HighLevel queen,
are you struggling with your voice mail drop deliverability?
Well, I'm going to show you how to fix that today and also how to set it up
properly so you don't have to worry in the future.
So let's get started.
So for those of you guys who don't know, we actually have a free Facebook group
called Marketing Agency Automation Secrets where we give away hundreds of dollars
in free trainings every single week to our members.
So click the link below to go check that out.
OK, first, you're going to want to make
sure that you have an audio file ready to go.
Now, usually what I suggest is recording a voicemail drop on your phone and you can
use the voice or sound recorder on your iPhone or Android device,
or you can use the sound recorder on your computer or laptop to record this file.
OK, so I'm going to assume that you already have that recorded and ready to go
if you don't go ahead and posit and then come back.
OK, so step one, what we're going to do is
we're going to open our audio file inside Audacity.
Now, if you don't have audacity, you need to go install that real quick.
OK, so this is how.
So this is how you spell audacity and see it.
OK, so you're going to go install that and then you're going to open your file.
So I'm going to go ahead and open a file that I already have here.
And it's a voice mail drop that I've already done.
OK,
and here you're going to see Project Rate and Hertz in the bottom left.
So I switched up my video today, put myself in the bottom right, because
I need you to be able to see the bottom left.
So you're going to click on eight thousand.
And what this is going to do is this is actually going to reduce the quality
of the file so that it can be played on phone lines more easily.
OK, now,
part of the problem is that you're going to see with voicemail deliverability
where let's say that the phone rings instead of like a ringland voicemail.
Let's say that their phone rings and they answer it and then the thing starts
playing or they answer it and there's no one there.
You're going to run into those kind
of problems when you don't do this properly, when you don't actually compress
your files so that it plays on the phone lines.
OK,
and you're going to see across the board, like no matter which software you use,
you're going to see about a 70 percent success rate.
So.
You want to change this to eight thousand, OK, so step two, you're going to change
the project rate down to eight thousand right here.
Step three, you're going to go to tracks and then you're going to go to Resample
and you're going to put in eight thousand and then you're going to click, OK.
Now you can see that that actually changed
my file here and you can play it and see what it sounds like.
OK, so it sounds like my voicemail is playing and I want to make sure that it
sounds OK, so go ahead and test and make sure your file sounds good.
All right.
And then step four, you want to export your audio file.
OK, so you're going to go to file export
and then you're going to do export as wave.
So that's WHV then here,
SABIS type, this is kind of confusing, so you're going to click on other
uncompressed files and you're going to save it.
As the wave header under you, OK, so you le.
And then go ahead and save it, so I'm going to just put it on my desktop.
OK.
All right, now, step five, we're going to test.
Oh, my gosh, did I just say test?
Yes, I did.
OK, so I went ahead and pulled up
HighLevel here, and you can go to marketing campaigns,
create a new campaign and we're just going to do voice mail test.
All right.
You're going to create an event voicemail.
Here, you're just going to choose your
file and then go ahead and play it on your.
OK, awesome.
That's working, you can do a custom time
if you want, but since we're just going to test it, we're just going to do this.
Save it, OK?
Make sure that you turn this on.
And then what you can do next is you create a contact.
So I'm going to go ahead and make a new contact.
And then I'm going to do.
A test here, so go ahead and put your number and then what you can do is,
oh my gosh, we have so many tests.
Find your your test user and add yourself
into that campaign and make sure that it's on OK?
I'm going to go ahead and add myself
to this campaign, it says left a voicemail, so let's go look on our phone.
And make sure that you are not
if if you have your cell phone number as
the forwarding number in your HighLevel account, don't use that same number
to test because it's not going to work right.
Use using Google Voice number or
you like your spouse's number or whatever.
Just don't use your own number.
OK.
So
I'm looking at my phone here.
I'm going to my voicemail and I got a voicemail drop.
So we're good.
And make sure that you plan, make sure it sounds good and everything like that.
That's how you set up voice mail drops correctly so that they play through
the phone lines and they have a higher success rate, higher deliverability rate.
