24 hour scripts and buisiness cards

Has anyone used, or know where I can find a general script for an 800#? A script that DOESN'T have a specific purpose like assignments, foreclosures, motivated seller, etc.
I would like to leave a message that gives a general description of what my business goals are (buying and selling investment properties). If anyone has any suggestions or a script they have created that I could modify for my script it would be appreciated.

Thanks

Ryan

If you don't mind me asking, do you have a general greeting to begin with pointing callers to the correct extension based on who they are or what information they are looking for?

I am currently seeking a script to attach investors - do you have any ideas?

Thanks,

I'm wondering if anyone has tried using a voicemail that doesn't use a 800 or 888 number?
I just joined the site and I'm about to sign up for the voicemail service, but I'm thinking of using a local phone number because I think that local people might respond better than if using an 800 or 888 number.

I know that when I get mail or calls for solicitation from an 888/800 number I usually tear it up, hang up, or don't answer. I think that you can accomplish the same thing with a local extension.

You know - you could have each of your Ad include an Extension and omit it completely from your Welcome message.

Ad Example:
Call for info at (800)MyPhone X 125

Welcome Script:
Thank you for calling. Please enter the extension you were given.
If you are unsure - enter 999.

Short / Sweet / to the point / and easy to evaluate your Ads.

To carry this idea a little further - this is how I have my COA account set up. Please understand that this is my first attempt and that I am VERY VERY NEW at this - so any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome Message:
*********************
Hi - this is ME - I want to thank you for calling.
Please enter the extension that was on the Add you read.
-> PAUSE <-
If your not sure what the extension was - please leave your Name, Phone Number, and E-Mail address so that I can contact you. It would also help if you could give me a hint about what the Add said.
*********************
This works because I allow messages to be left in that area - which is not the default.
