Customer answering machine

[pianolover 88]

DON'T leave messages! They don't always call back either way. I only talk 
with my clients "live" and never leave messages when calling to set up 
appoinments. If I do get a machine, I promptly hang up and try again at a 
later time.

My Colleagues,

  When I am calling my clients to book an appointment, I'm not sure what 
message to leave when I get their answering machine.
Sometimes I will ask them to leave ME a message telling the best time/day to 
call them back.  Sometimes I will suggest a day or time or range of days or 
times to make the appointment.
I do not have a consistent strategy on how to make best use of their 
answering machine and so I hereby solicit your advice.
