dgillies monotone, slightly impatient tone will get questions asked of you soon after they try to help. #SChat -12:28 PM Jan 10th, 2012

   

LoisMarketing RT @HeyOverbey: I have long since gotten over the fear of outright asking for exactly what I need. Without excited tone in my voice. #SChat -12:27 PM Jan 10th, 2012

   

dcRecruit RT @MaureenSharib: RT @HeyOverbey: If they slip & say they are new-KEEP THEM ON THE PHONE #SChat -12:27 PM Jan 10th, 2012

HeatherTravisUK @MaureenSharib calling sales person say potential head hunt call on behalf of ... would they know of someone who may be interested? #SChat -12:26 PM Jan 10th, 2012

   

MaureenSharib @dgillies NEW PEOPLE ARE WONDERFUL. #SChat -12:26 PM Jan 10th, 2012

MaureenSharib RT @HeyOverbey: If they slip & say they are new-KEEP THEM ON THE PHONE #SChat -12:25 PM Jan 10th, 2012

   

dgillies @HeyOverbey I agree. New people ALWAYS give too much info. Cell #'s etc... #SChat -12:25 PM Jan 10th, 2012

   

HeyOverbey I've also found out newer people help more cause they want/need to know, too. If they slip & say they are new-keep 'em on the phone #SChat -12:24 PM Jan 10th, 2012

   

MaureenSharib @HeatherTravisUK Do you do that? Can you give us an example? #SChat -12:23 PM Jan 10th, 2012

   

dgillies @Andy_Stanczyk yeah, but they are saying that they call anyway. Right, Heather? #SChat -12:23 PM Jan 10th, 2012

   

MaureenSharib @dgillies A large company could take a few hrs. The approach depends on what you're looking for. #SChat -12:23 PM Jan 10th, 2012

   

HeatherTravisUK @MaureenSharib when approaching people for roles or as sources tell them reason for call #SChat -12:22 PM Jan 10th, 2012

   

MaureenSharib @dgillies A small company can easily be don in 1/2 to 1 hr It'll take more time (maybe another hr. ) to listen to VM messages. #SChat -12:22 PM Jan 10th, 2012

   

Andy_Stanczyk @dgillies @MaureenSharib When they say "if this is an emergency" - otherwise, they wouldn't leave it if they wanted it private. #schat -12:22 PM Jan 10th, 2012

   

MaureenSharib Think abt the power in a company's voice system. Th re they are - everyone who works there. #SChat -12:21 PM Jan 10th, 2012

   

dgillies @MaureenSharib how much time is realistic to spend in vm deciphering organizatio, Maureen? point of limited returns? #SChat -12:21 PM Jan 10th, 2012

   

MaureenSharib @HeatherTravisUK Heather, what do you mean? #SChat -12:20 PM Jan 10th, 2012

    

dgillies RT @MaureenSharib: @mrmartinlee The VM system WILL give you all the names in one call. The trick is in deciphering who does what. #SChat -12:20 PM Jan 10th, 2012

MaureenSharib RT @dgillies: Too many times we are thinking about what we are going to say rather than being in the moment and really listening. #SChat -12:16 PM Jan 10th, 2012

   

MaureenSharib RT @mrmartinlee: @animal #schat "You also get cell numbers or other names they work with' <--POWERFUL #SChat -12:16 PM Jan 10th, 2012

mrmartinlee @animal #schat Cross reference against LI etc see who's currently there.You also get cell numbers or other names they work with -12:15 PM Jan 10th, 2012

   

HeyOverbey RT @MaureenSharib @animal No, I avoid a nasty GK by calling AROUND her directly into org. Calling at lunch MIGHT avoid her though. #SChat - -12:14 PM Jan 10th, 2012

   

MaureenSharib @animal U have to give me everything u said for me to critique you. #SChat -12:14 PM Jan 10th, 2012

   

animal RT @MaureenSharib: @animal That's baloney Animal VMs can give you a lot of info. It's time consuming, sure - but worthwhile. #SChat -12:14 PM Jan 10th, 2012

   

MaureenSharib @animal U don't seem to have a spidey sense. #SChat -12:13 PM Jan 10th, 2012

   

dgillies @HeatherTravisUK good suggestion #SChat -12:13 PM Jan 10th, 2012

   

MaureenSharib @animal No, I avoid a nasty GK by calling AROUND her directly into org. Calling at lunch MIGHT avoid her though. #SChat -12:13 PM Jan 10th, 2012

   

animal @MaureenSharib I didnt give you everything I said dear. Just the money shots #schat -12:13 PM Jan 10th, 2012

   

HeatherTravisUK @Andy_Stanczyk @MaureenSharib useful tip re changes at weekend #SChat -12:13 PM Jan 10th, 2012

   

MaureenSharib @HeatherTravisUK Sometimes they will. #SChat -12:12 PM Jan 10th, 2012

   

MaureenSharib RT @HeyOverbey: If you are not rushing, really listen, link it up with other clues - voicemails can really help #SChat -12:12 PM Jan 10th, 2012

   

animal @MaureenSharib I've consumed a lot of time doing it and got very little in return but then I dont have your spidey sense do I #schat -12:12 PM Jan 10th, 2012

   

MaureenSharib @Andy_Stanczyk Few orgs change their voice systems very often. #SChat -12:12 PM Jan 10th, 2012

   

animal @MaureenSharib So U hide out from the GK by calling only at Lunch is that correct #schat -12:12 PM Jan 10th, 2012

   

HeatherTravisUK @MaureenSharib @dgillies I find if you get a name then call back reception they will give you correct job title #SChat -12:12 PM Jan 10th, 2012

   

MaureenSharib @animal That's baloney Animal VMs can give you a lot of info. It's time consuming, sure - but worthwhile. #SChat -12:11 PM Jan 10th, 2012

   

HeyOverbey If you are not rushing, really listen, link it up with other clues - voicemails can really help #SChat -12:11 PM Jan 10th, 2012

   

animal @mrmartinlee what does it mean cross reference against #schat -12:11 PM Jan 10th, 2012

   

MaureenSharib @animal You approached her too roughly. You did not intro yourself. You did not repeat her name back to her. U shotgunned her. #SChat -12:11 PM Jan 10th, 2012

   

animal @mrmartinlee organogram sounds sexual to me #schat -12:10 PM Jan 10th, 2012

   

Andy_Stanczyk In your experience, is late night or weekend better? Do some change the system on wknds #SChat -12:10 PM Jan 10th, 2012

   

MaureenSharib @dgillies Few will have titles-some will.Listening 2VMs can help put groups together.They might referUto the same admin,for instance. #SChat -12:10 PM Jan 10th, 2012

   

HeyOverbey 2 voicemails yesterday @ hospitals practically gave me their resume. One sd why she was out, where she was, alternate #, return date. #SChat -12:10 PM Jan 10th, 2012

   

animal @MaureenSharib Going thru every person's voicemail msg doesnt give U much useful info #schat -12:09 PM Jan 10th, 2012

   

mrmartinlee @animal #schat Gives you names of all current employees to cross reference against. Instant organogram. -12:09 PM Jan 10th, 2012

   

animal @MaureenSharib What did I do wrong? Am I here to educate U or RU here to educate me? #schat -12:09 PM Jan 10th, 2012

MaureenSharib @dgillies I get the names then listen to VoiceMails for the clues (info).Sometimes I have to listen to VoiceMails to GET the names. #SChat -12:07 PM Jan 10th, 2012

   

animal @mrmartinlee Whats so great about getting a surname - it doesnt tell U what they do #schat - RU going to call everybody and ask? -12:07 PM Jan 10th, 2012
