“Hello, you have reached Mark Hannel, content writer at Uloop News. My apologies for missing your call. I will be happy to get back to you as soon as I am able. Please leave me your name, number, and a brief message, and you’ll be hearing back from me shortly. Thanks and have a great day!”

Here are several tips to consider when setting up a professional voicemail greeting:
“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!”
As you develop your voicemail script, keep in mind these important tips to ensure that you’re perceived as a professional.
31. Hello, you’ve reached [your name]. I’ll be out of the office from [start date] to [end date]. Please leave a message and I’ll return your call upon my return. Alternatively, you can email me at [email address] or call [name] at [phone number] for immediate assistance. Thanks for calling!
There are several ways to give your voice mail a professional-sounding and “crisp” image. Of course, the content of what your voice mail greeting says is very important, too. So be sure to prepare your message in advance. Too many people try to “wing-it” and then the greeting sounds less-than-professional.
3. "Hey, this is [your name]. If you're calling for [X reason], please [contact so-and-so] or [go to our website, send me an email]. For all other inquiries, leave your name and a brief message and I'll call you back within [one, two, three] business day[s].
Sorry I wasn’t able to take your call, but please leave your name and a detailed message and I’ll get back to you.

When the phone line is busy or the line is not answered, the call will be redirected to the number you specify, voicemail or a do-not-disturb announcement.
Different businesses may require different types of greetings. This is the ultimate list that can work for a wide array of company messages.
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.
Your voicemail greeting is the first introduction to your office — what kind of impression do you want to leave?
