Hi, you have reached (names) voicemail. If you want money or to sell us something, we a) gave at the office, b) already have it, or c) don’t want it. If you are a friend, trying to give us money or just want to talk, then leave a message or try my cell phone number.
Invite the caller to leave a detailed message. If there is certain information you need, make sure to include that information here.

You don't have to be a large national business to make an impression with your callers. On hold messages are ideal for SME businesses to sound just as professional.
Each recording is customised to suit your business requirements. You can choose from a range of tones, voice artists, or create a custom script for your on hold message.
How many of your voicemails just say, “Please call me back”? Over the years, listening to voicemails has taught consumers that this isn’t a very good use of time. You can’t skim a voicemail. You have to listen to the entire thing and decipher what the person wants you to do.
Callers don’t have the luxury of seeing the script laid out in front of them while they’re listening to the various menu options. With this in mind, it’s important to use language that’s easy for callers to comprehend the first time they hear it.
Since we like to give our customers what they want, we’ve been burning the midnight oil looking for a way to make personalized greetings that much easier to personalize.
