When you receive a voice mail message, the message appears in your Outlook Inbox. Go to your Outlook Inbox. Open any email with Voice Mail in the subject. Click the blue play button to listen to a message.
So, I finally did it. Here’s my process for developing a professional voicemail message in 10 steps:
.
Explain the purpose of your message directly following the statement of your name and telephone number. This includes any actions you would like the receiver to take.
It is so important for a professional business to respond to your potential and existing customers as soon as possible. If you are running a professional business, you must make your customers feel safe. You may ensure this by answering their questions as quickly as possible and always ready to negotiate. But, what if you can not answer their phone calls instantly. In such cases, you should ensure the opportunity for your customers to leave a message. For this, you must have a voicemail greetings system where your customers may leave you a message.
Hello, you have reached the firm of real estate agent X. I am currently in a meeting with a client, but I will get back to you as soon as possible. Kindly leave your name, your reason for calling and your contact number so that I can get back to you at the earliest. If there is any kind of urgency, you can get in touch with me at Y number.
Do you speak a second language and serve customers in an area that primarily uses a language other than English? Make it known that you speak both languages. Start the voicemail with the most dominant language spoken in your market followed by the same message spoken in the secondary language:
“Congratulations! You’ve reached the right person! It’s [your name]. Unfortunately, you’ve called at the wrong time. Please leave a message with all your contact information, and I’ll call you back within 24 hours.”
A professional and personable voicemail greeting is beneficial for several reasons. Read ahead to find out what these are.
Your prospects need to hear something which can make them hold on to what you are trying to tell them and that starts with a good attractive statement.
7. Configure phone number. Select which subaccount user will be assigned to the phone number (private) or select Shared voicemail for the phone number to share a voicemail box with your primary phone number.
Pro Tip: Smile while you’re recording your greeting and your voice will sound pleasant.
26. Hello, you’ve reached [your name]. I’m either on another call, on a top secret mission to Mars, or I’ve just stepped away from my desk for the day. Leave a message after the tone and I’ll call you back tomorrow or in about seven months.
Alerts you with a special tone when someone else is calling you while you are already on the phone.
17. "Hello! You've gotten the voicemail of [your name]. Leave your name, contact info, and the answer to the eternal question ‘Which came first, the chicken or the egg?' Anyone who gets it right will receive a call back."
4. Voicemail greetings for calls received after business hours. You don’t want to answer calls 24/7 (unless you’re serving clients globally and there’s an expectation of 24/7 support).
Wondering what to say in your business voicemail greetings? Read on to learn how to record a good voicemail that is professional (or funny) to encourage callers to leave a message.
A voice mailbox is typically associated with a telephone number. When the number is called, and the line is busy or not answered, the caller hears an outgoing Greeting recorded by you and is given instructions for leaving a message.
