Business voicemail greetings should be informative. The first message the customer hears should have the company’s name so they can be sure they have reached the right number.
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.

Voicemail is necessary when no one can answer the phone. However, a dedicated receptionist can reduce the need for this feature and help people reach a live person. Consider live chat as well if your customers like to reach out online.
No one wants to sit and listen to someone talking drone and monotone on a voicemail greeting. Remember to keep it upbeat and avoid sounding like a robot!
For decades, businesses have been teaching consumers that when they want to get service over the phone, calling is the best way to do it. We display phone numbers online, in phone books, on ads, and in numerous other mediums.
Tone - select the right tone for your business brand. If your target market are young millennials, then the script would most likely include some slang words, be quite laid back and the script would be recorded in an energetic tone. If you primarily service the business market, then the script would be more articulate and recorded with a more professional tone.

“Hey there! This is [name] at [XYZ company]. Thank you for calling. I can’t take your call right now but if you leave your name, contact info and reason for calling, I’ll call you back right away. Take care and speak with you soon!”
Is there an average wait of five minutes, but a live chat option online that may be more convenient for them? It’s ok to mention that, too. Anything that will allow you to best serve your customers should be mentioned upfront, because it gets them where they need to go as quickly as possible, which leads to happier customers in the end.
