Going away for vacation or leaving the office unattended shouldn't stress you out. That's why OnSIP designed voicemail greeting setup to take only a handful of steps.
Hello, you have reached the firm of real estate agent X. I am currently in a meeting with a client, but I will get back to you as soon as possible. Kindly leave your name, your reason for calling and your contact number so that I can get back to you at the earliest. If there is any kind of urgency, you can get in touch with me at Y number.

When someone reaches your voicemail, it’s important that you help them confirm that they have reached the right person by providing all of the relevant information that they will need. Who have they reached? Did they contact the right person and the right business? Should they leave a message? When will you get back to them? Is there a better time for them to call?
a standard greeting as per Option 6, followed by the leave-message tone, and then silence.
Do you have a crowning achievement or hold a competitive advantage? Showcase that within your voicemail so you’ll be memorable and emphasize why working with you is an advantage. Here’s an example of a professional voicemail someone in real estate could use:
6.( أهلا ومرحبا بكم في John Doe AG - وكالة للمنتجات. للأسف، كل الخطوط مشغولة في الوقت الراهن. يرجى المحاولة مرة أخرى في وقت لاحق أو الانتظار بضع لحظات. شكرا لكم، فريق John Doe
14. “Hello, you’ve reached [company]. If you’re looking for information on [X], please check out our [Facebook page, company website, etc.] If you want to know more about [Y], take a look at [Z page on our site, our YouTube channel, etc.] Still have more questions, or just want to hear our lovely voices? Leave your name and number, and we’ll return your call straight away.”
Make it funny! Now not everyone is the funniest comedian, and this time to practice a stand-up routine. No one wants to reach your voicemail just to be greeted with 15 knock-knock jokes. But you can easily add some humor, lighten up the tone a bit and try to leave people with a smile. Of course, keep it light – no dark humor here.
Last but not least a slogan or branding: this is really more important for new customers and people that are calling or leaving a voicemail for the first time rather than returning ones (though it helps a little with them too!). A catchy phrase makes it easier for people to remember your name and recognize you when you give them a call back.
6.) Welcome to John Doe. Due to maintenance, we can not take your call at the moment. You're welcome to write an email to [email protected]. Your mail will be answered by our employees as soon as possible. We apologize for the temporary restriction! Thank you for your understanding
Record and play the message while the caller is waiting to be connected. An excellent way to professionally introduce your business to the callers and set it apart from the competitors.
12.) Bienvenue chez JohnDoe. Vous pouvez nous joindre du lundi au vendredi de 8h à 12h30 et de 13 heures à 16h30. Nous ne pouvons pas prendre votre appel pour le moment. Laissez un message avec votre nom et votre numéro de téléphone et nous vous rappellerons dès que possible. En cas d'urgence, vous pouvez nous joindre sur le numéro 0821 91039- 1211. Merci beaucoup.
4. Hi, this is [your name]. I’m unable to take your call right now but leave your name and number, and I’ll get back to you as soon as possible.
"Hello, you've reached [name] at [company]. I'm unable to come to the phone right now. Leave your name and number, and I'll return your call as soon as I'm free. Thank you."
You may also not always want to pick up the phone when you do not recognize the number, or the number is withheld.
Calls overflow to the voicemail box if they can’t be answered during business hours. This may be during unusually busy periods or if there is no one to take the call.
When you want callers to leave a message, make sure your voicemail greeting indicates that. Be sure to keep your greeting short and direct, and include the info you want to capture.
