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.

3. Use informal language with family and close friends. There’s no need to be professional when you are talking to people that you know well. Use slang language and words if they will know what you mean. However, if you are talking to someone older, like a grandparent, they may not be up to date on all of the slang language that you use. You can say things like, “Hey, what’s up?” and “What’s happening?”
Standard greeting with phone number: "At the tone, please record your message to [phone number]."
You might take this as a good sign: people have realistic expectations, and you don’t have to feel pressure to pick up the phone right away. But the reality is that this means people see phone calls as a big commitment. They’re setting aside a block of time just to ask a quick question. And the bigger the commitment it is to interact with your business, the fewer interactions you’re going to have.
The greeting can begin with an appreciation for the call or business. This helps customers feel valued and cared for. Stating the company’s or business’ name and then following it up with the company’s tagline or slogan is a good idea.
The information you want to put in your voicemail greeting should be concise enough for your prospects to get every bit of information they need. Leave the relevant information in a clear and precise manner.
My wife and I can’t come to the phone right now, but if you’ll leave your name and number we’ll get back to you as soon as we’re finished.
Your call is important to us and we will get back to you as soon as possible. Please leave your full name, contact details, phone number, and availability after the beep and we will call you back straight away. Thank you!”
Voicemail messages complete your professional image. Whether you are using your cell phone as a mobile office or desire a unified sound for all of your employees, voicemail greetings recorded by a professional voice over talent provide the missing element.
