What's your number? I've got a few dozen calls a day I can send you via call forwarding. While you're at it, how about sending along your office number, so you can make the human connection during business hours, too.
My favorite new strategy is the recorded messages who just say 'sorry we missed you' or 'we're trying to reach you' and leave a phone number (usually an 800 number). Sometimes, to add to the intrigue, they say it's really not necessary to call them back.
