Don' let background noise do the talking for you. Ambient noise on your recording could be sending the wrong message to your clients. The sound of your kids arguing in the distance could be the sign of a distracting work environment. Clinking glasses and restaurant chatter may leave the impression that you don't take your work seriously. When you record your voicemail greeting choose a quiet spot free from interruption, so your message is the only thing callers hear. It's also good to avoid large, cavernous spaces where sound verberates.

Hello. Thank you for contacting [Business Name]. Unfortunately, we are not currently available at the moment. Our regular office hours are Monday through Friday, 8 am to 4 pm, closed during the weekend. Please leave a message along with your name and number, and we’ll get back to you as soon as possible.

Update, the database doesn't appear to store the length of the audio file, so it shouldn't be a problem if the original and replacement audio are different lengths. Inserting an entry into the "v_voicemail_greetings" table should resolve the GUI "seeing" the greeting, but there is a voicemail_greeting_uuid column that is a long string of hex. I can randomly generate something, but does anyone know if it needs to be stored/registered/etc elsewhere? Sep 29, 2016 2,686 465 83 Aug 16, 2018 #5

Yes. As the voicemail greeting is the first thing your calls hear as in the examples above, the On-Hold message is the really important part if you have to ask your customers or clients to hold. No one ever likes to be on hold, but if you don't have a professionally structured on-hold system set up, it is worse for them to sit and wait. On-hold messages can be set up to include just music, which with the right music will keep your calls more relaxed during the hold time, especially longer holds. On-hold time should be best utilized to further build your company brand, or offer suggestions and info to guide the caller to ask more questions when with a live operator or you. ...music playing.... Thank you for holding we will be with you in a moment. Did you know (company name) offers this and that service along with the service you have. Ask a representative when we come on the line how this can benefit you today. ....music continues for 15 seconds... We appreciate your business, thank you for continuing to hold. We at (company) strive to give you the best possible products at the best prices. Did you know you can get a (product) this week only for ($). Tell the representative you heard this offer while waiting and we can get you all the details. On-hold messages can include whatever you want and will often just loop from end to beginning as the customer or client is on hold. Think of it as a way you can advertise to your own customers as they wait.
