You've got YouMail

Full Disclosure: I have nothing to do with this company, but I would love to. ;-)

I am just a new raving customer of YouMail. This is an amazing technology that could change the way that we communicate with friends, family, and most importantly in the context of my blog, customers and prospects! (This installment is more for the former ad sales guy in me.)

YouMail is a free service...not sure how they are planning to make a profit, but at some point I'm expecting the site and alerts to be ad supported.

All you have to do is set-up an account with your cell phone and an email address. Then you are able input phone numbers that will allow you to set-up different, personalized voicemail greetings for each number. It is brilliant and it works perfectly!

So, other than being just a very cool gadget, it can be a fantastic tool for personalizing your message to customers and prospects.

Think about it. You want to break through the clutter, but worry about someone calling you back and getting voicemail. Don't worry...you can set-up an attention getting message personalized just for them.
