Before you record your business voicemail greeting, be sure to rehearse it so you feel comfortable and don’t stumble around. You might want to write a script and practice a few times out loud beforehand.
I have a confession to make: I haven’t recorded a new voicemail greeting since 2014. In the past four years, I (hopefully) have become more articulate, poised, and self-assured. But hear my voicemail recording, and you’d think I was still new to the work world, a little unsure of myself — and probably not an authority. Obviously I need toupdate it. And if you haven’t changed your voicemail greeting in over a year, you’re likely in the same boat. After all, a professional voicemail recording boosts your credibility, makes you seem more competent, and encourages whoever’s listening to it to continue the relationship. A relatively unprofessional one — like mine, for instance — does the opposite: It encourages prospects, recruiters, and potential connections to run in the other direction. With that in mind, I’ve written 18 unique voicemail greetings for every situation. Pick your favorite, practice a few times, then record your new voicemail.

4.0 out of 5 stars Feature rich phone system, and complex for DIY. Decent system, returned and bought the 6 line phones as this set only had 2 lines. Setting up the other grandstream now, considerable setup time but I’m learning as I go. Has a lot of features, way more than we need for 6 person office. When answer first line after done talking, that line start making annoying beeping until another call. One of our phones stop working properly, not able to put on hold or transfer to another person just after a year of using when the warranty just expired.
