Google Voice for voicemails is fast, easy, and I can find them later with a fast search in Evernote.

I've written about Evernote a lot, simply because it's one of my most valuable and favorite online tools to manage my real estate business, documents, notes, and research for writing. I've placed links after this tip for more about Evernote. This tip is for those who are also using Google Voice for their voicemail and phone routing. Once you've received a voicemail in Google Voice, you have access to it, and storage in the archives as well. However, since I've pretty much brought everything together in Evernote, I wanted to have important voicemails stored there as well.

The search ability in Evernote is great, and the voicemails from Google Voice contain the name of the caller, their number, a transcription to text, and a link to the voicemail.
At the bottom of every voicemail is the "more" link, which gives you several options, including "Add Note" and "Email." It couldn't get any better. If I want to add a quick note clarifying the context of the call, I can. Then, with the email address provided by Evernote, I just send it to my Evernote account. Since the email box uses Google Contacts, I just put in a contact "Evernote" and it pulls the email address right up when I start typing "Evern..."
As you can also record conversations with Google Voice by simply hitting the "4" key during an outgoing call, you can do the same thing with a recorded conversation. GVoice announces the call is being recorded, so you're not hiding it. What you might use it for is a conversation where directions or detailed instructions are being discussed, and you want to recall them verbatim. Once it's recorded, the same "more" link lets you add a note and email it to Evernote. For real estate professionals, this could be instructions from a client on something they want added to a contract, as an example.
