2. Company Wide Voicemail Greeting. You want to be a little more formal when you're recording a business voicemail greeting for your company. State your business name, your hours of operation, the manner in which you'll reach out to the caller, and a place where he or she can obtain more information about your business.
5. Holiday Voicemail Greetings. Happy [X holiday]! You've reached [your name] at [X company]. I am currently out of the office, but please leave me your name, phone number, and the reason you are calling, and I’ll return your call after the holidays.
.
4. “Thanks for calling [your company]. We’re looking forward to speaking with you. Let us call you back as soon as we are available by leaving your name, contact information and the reason for your call. Have a great day.” A simple, concise, and, of course, friendly voicemail greeting for your main business line.
When people call your main company phone number, a professional sounding greeting helps you welcome callers, creating a great first impression and providing them with any instructions or information you want to share.
Here’s another funny one for those times you really want to lighten the business mood:
When the phone line is busy or the line is not answered, the call will be redirected to the number you specify, voicemail or a do-not-disturb announcement.
Consider adding 'You can also email your query to us at [insert email address here]. These queries will be answered within [insert time frame].' Again, if you intend to make a promise to your customer in a voicemail, ensure you keep it.
"Hi, you've reached Phil Gerbyshak. I'm not available to take your call right now, however your call is very important to me. Otherwise, leave your name, number, a brief message, and your favorite 80s video game after the tone, and I'll call you back as soon as I can. My favorite 80s video game is (I have lots, so I change up the game). Thanks for calling. Make it a great day!" Hey, now that's pretty good. I let the caller know they're important to me, I injected some energy into the situation and put them at ease by askin them to share their favorite 80s video game, and I shared mine, and I closed with energy: "Make it a great day!"
Only one out of every five customers will listen to your voicemail if they don’t recognize your number. With listen rates that low, your response rates are going to be abysmal. If you have a front desk receptionist or another employee making outbound calls, you’re going to have a hard time making that worth your while.
It’s important to note that you will typically be recording over any existing messages on your system. So if you have professionally recorded greetings you may need to have them reloaded into the system in the new year by a technician.
Have your messages proofread by a Snap Recordings script specialist**. Your message will be reviewed and edited for any grammar & pronunciation issues by a professional proofreader before being recorded.
This is not an answering machine–this is a telepathic thought-recording device. After the tone, think about your name, your reason for calling, and a number where I can reach you, and I’ll think about returning your call.
-You have reached the voice mailbox of (your name). If you’re a hot chick/guy, you may leave a message at the tone. If your one of (your name)’s friends, you may also leave a message at the tone. If you’re not hot and not one of (your name)’s friends, call back when you are.
There are many reasons why there could be a difference here, and neither study has any public-facing information about their sample size or demographics. How long people are willing to wait (or if they’ll even wait at all) could certainly vary from one industry, age group, or region to another.
You may think your voicemail message is professional. But when you listen back it could sound rushed or shaky. Listen to it regularly to see if changes are needed.
