It’s frustrating enough to reach a voicemail… being helpful and friendly will go a long way and reduce annoyance!
.
Listening to a mailbox full of voicemail recordings can take valuable time out of your day. But hearing each one all the way to the end is necessary in order to get the information from it.
Ensure that calls are answered and that callers' needs are met. You can add greetings, set up menus, and route calls to an answering service, a hunt group, a voicemail box, or a real person. You can create a 24-hour schedule or provide different options when your business is open or closed.
This voicemail greeting lets your customers or colleagues know that you are busy attending to other matters. It also reassures them that you will get back to them when you receive their message.
On this page, we’ve provided some script samples and templates of voicemail greetings and auto attendant messages you can use for your business phone, VOIP service, PBX/PABX system as well as cell/mobile/smart phone greetings. If you need help writing your phone scripts and greetings or want to have your phone recordings professionally recorded by a professional voice talent, contact Macryn

Avoid using ‘please’ more than once, it gets wordy and redundant. The goal is to keep the content as concise as possible, moving callers quickly and seamlessly through the options.
That’s the simple structure of a voicemail greeting. Overall, your greeting should be professional, but the wording can vary depending on the situation. Check out a sample below.
