No pitch
A voicemail is not the place to explain your product. Save it for the email or the call. This is a coaching method, not a measured result.

Voicemail Script Checker
Paste the voicemail you plan to leave on a cold call. This is a coaching checker based on published advice, not on measured voicemail data, because no study of voicemail wording could be verified. It shows how your script fits that advice, with plain-English fixes.

What the Voicemail Script Checker checks
Each check is explained in plain words. Checks based on research link to the source. The rest are labeled as writing practice.
Points to your email, not a callback
Instead of asking them to call you back, tell them to look for your email. This is a coaching method, not a measured result.
Short enough to say in about half a minute
The checker estimates how long your script takes to say at a calm pace of 150 words a minute. That pace is an assumption, and the time is an estimate, not a study number. Keeping it short is a coaching method.
One piece of context about them
Give one reason this is about them, like something you noticed about their team. This is a coaching method, not a measured result.
Says clearly who is calling
Say your name and where you work, so they know who left the message. This is a writing practice, not a study result.

Easy to say out loud
Short sentences and everyday words are easier to say and easier to follow on a recording. This is a writing practice, not a study result.

Questions
Is this based on voicemail research?
No. It is a coaching checker based on published advice from 30 Minutes to President's Club. We could not find a measured study of what to say in a voicemail, so no check here claims one. The research that exists is about how many voicemails to leave, which a script cannot show.
What should a sales voicemail say?
Say who you are, give one short reason this is about them, and tell them to look for your email. Skip the pitch and skip the callback request.
How long should a sales voicemail be?
Short. The advice we follow keeps it to well under a minute, and this checker aims for about half a minute or less. The time shown is an estimate from your word count at a calm speaking pace, not a study number.
Is it free? Do you store my script?
It is free with no sign-up, and nothing you type is stored.
