Hiring Voice Talent Will Make You Look Professional

Submitted by: Ravok

When it comes to business, there are many more than 7 deadly sins, and one of the worst is not having a good point of contact. It's all great to go out and try to find customers, but what happens when a possible or existing customer wants to initiate contact? Generally, they will do that by picking up the phone and calling you. Unless you hire a whole army of receptionists, there won't always be a warm body for them to talk to. Don't damage their feelings toward you and your product by giving them an awful canned message - or worse, nothing at all.

While the owners of many organizations elect to add a personal touch i.e., be an obvious tightwad by recording their own outgoing messages, that can send the wrong message to potential patrons. For instance, do you know for sure that you sounded happy to hear from customers when you recorded that message? Many people record their outgoing messages after infuriating bouts with a new telephone system, and that tension comes through in the message. Tension can make you sound as though you don't actually have time to chat with a caller.

A professional voice actor, on the other hand, knows how to sound cool and relaxed even when they don't feel that way. They know how to put your caller at ease with merely the sound of their voice. Even though the customer can tell this is a recorded message, they won't be able to help their emotional reaction to the sound of a nice, happy voice. They will be glad they called your organization, and will be in a better mood when they finally reach you, than if they had heard a different voice on the line.

In addition, choosing to hire a professional voice-over artist will create the impression that you have more people working for you than you do. If you are an organization of one and you have someone else's voice in your system, it will create the emotional impression that you have an employees - even if people know better. This will give you the air of success, in a very subtle way. Besides, don't you want to give your customers something pleasant to listen to while they're being asked to wait?

In the world of business, it is very important that we create a professional image for ourselves and our enterprises. Everyone knows how to wear the right suit and say the right things because that has been drummed into our heads for a long time. But there are plenty of other, often overlooked, ways to create a professional image and let people see that you are successful. Perhaps you are under the impression that, if you do a good enough job for people, your image won't be an issue. Yet, that is simply not the case.

Many people would rather hire a company with a professional image than a company that doesn't look quite as good but that puts out a better product. Something as simple as hiring a voice over for your telephone system can be just the thing to give you that professional image.
