So how do consumers interact with businesses over the phone? What do they want? What are businesses doing? What’s working well for other organizations?

I reached out to a counterpart at WestJet and he referred me to On Air. I must say that the customer service I received from the onset at On Air was night and day from what I had previously been accustomed to. They are extremely responsive, and very customer focused.

And most of all, Thank you!" - Kelly Brown, Telecom Engineer, Voice and Video Solutions, The City of Calgary, Calgary, AB

We require our employees observe this tradition through their words and deeds, and our customers smile when they are treated with this time-honored deference."

Cell phone voicemail greetings are generally more personal and casual than office phones. Consider a greeting like “Hello, you’ve reached [your name]’s cell phone. I can’t take your call at the moment, but if you leave a brief message, I’ll get back to you as quickly as possible.”
