You’re about to offer “John” a job. You know he’s right for the job – what you don’t know is that he is in transition. You call him with the good news:
Without CVM
This is what you hear:
The number you are trying to reach has been disconnected...
Result
A lost opportunity
With CVM
This is what you hear:
Hi. This is John. I can't take your call right now, but if you leave a message...
RESULT:
A new job
How do you get a job without a phone? You don’t.
A place to live? Safety from domestic abuse?
