Communication Tips
------------------

A voice mail message that's meaningless and hard to make sense of is as 
frustrating as playing phone tag. 

   o When leaving a voice mail message, identify yourself and tell the 
     recipient what department you work for or who referred you.

   o You're more likely to get a quick reply when you make it easy for 
     the recipient to respond. Make sure you provide enough information 
     about what you need. Let the recipient know the best time to reach 
     you. 

   o Phone numbers are easy to miss the first time. Repeat your phone or 
     fax numbers so the recipient doesn't have to replay the message in 
     order to jot them down.
