I would highly recommend Sound Telecom on every level. First-class operation. Professional and responsive. Not one complaint or concern.
What happens here is when you apologize and sound genuine in your tone, your prospects would understand and leave their contact details for you to follow with them.

You don’t need to have your whole life story in your voicemail greeting, you just basically need them to know that they reached the right person and that you will be getting back to them as soon as you can. This is the part where people like to get funny, maybe by saying, “hey, I’m out and definitely avoiding you,” which is funny if your friends are calling, but not if someone you want to work for is trying to reach you.
First of all, you need to have a sound upbeat in your voicemail. Make sure you have a smile on your face while recording your voicemail. If you are unhappy, this is definitely evident in your message. As a business owner, of course, you aim for happy customers. At this point, your first duty towards your customers will be to look happy.

A busy greeting should tell callers that your phone lines are currently in use. You can direct people to wait on hold or leave a message. For example, “Hello, you’ve reached [company name]. Our representatives are currently helping other customers. Please stay on the line to speak with the next available team member, or press one to leave a message and we’ll call you back.”
Don’t be fooled by other business’ mediocrity…Excellence matters. First impressions also matter. Let your clients and investors listen in on just how exciting and professional your business really is.
On occasion the option to send a call straight to voicemail is not available. If it is determined that the recipient does have a voicemail box but the Voice Mail option does not appear as in the screenshot above, this is likely because the recipient is a Skype for Business on Mac user.
Do you have a landline at work? Make sure that all your phones, personal and business, have good clear, professional English voicemail greetings.
Ideally, a business should have a complete set of messages for every phase of their call flow from beginning to end. While voicemail greetings are an important part of the phone system, there need to be recordings for everything leading up to the voicemail as well (assuming there are other steps in the call flow).
Currently, Cox Business does not offer fax features in voice mailboxes; however, our development roadmap includes creation of special services that support faxing. Cox Business is launching a new platform for voice mail in 2014 and existing customers must set up their voice mailboxes during migration. How will I know when Cox Business is moving my voice mailboxes to the new platform?
Don’t include the date unless it’s completely necessary. 16 of the messages I heard last month had the wrong date—one of the messages had a date over 2 months old!
You don’t have to spell out every single thing that you think they might want to know. Have some faith that your callers will be able to figure things out on their own. Be natural but informative.
“Hi, you’ve reached [XYZ Company]. We can’t take your call right now but feel free to call back during business hours from [hour] to [hour], Monday through Friday. In case of an urgent query, you can contact us through our website [URL] and access our live chat.
State your name clearly so the caller knows they have the right number. 3 of the messages I heard last month were missing his/her name.
