One of my pet peeves occurred this morning. A lawyer left me a long voice mail with his telephone number at the end of the voice mail. It is a natural reaction in leaving a long voice mail to speak faster as you conclude--just when you are giving the other party your telephone number. So, I had to listen to the entire message three times to get the lawyer's telephone number. Try giving your telephone number immediately after you identify yourself so that your listener doesn't have to replay your call several times to get your phone number. Have a nice weekend.
