What you do not want to do is say your phone number so quickly that the person has to listen to your voicemail multiple times to try and figure out your phone number. We have all gotten those annoying voicemail messages where the person said their phone number so quickly that we had to listen to their message several times to figure out their phone number. Don't be that jerk who leaves their phone number so fast that the other person has to listen to your message over and over to try and figure out what your phone number is.
Background noise can make it hard for the person calling in to understand your greeting. Limit the noise around when you record your message!

He makes every effort to answer every single call without letting it go to voicemail. God bless him, he tries. Unfortunately, he misses some. He always feels like he lets his customer down a little when it goes to voicemail. https://wizardofads.contractors/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Stadium-April-2021.mp3
The other day, I was leaving a message, and the voicemail system cut me off. It seems I exceeded my 90 seconds of allotted time. No, I didn’t call back. I figured the man got the gist of the message, so I left the ball in his court.
A professional voicemail greeting is essential in many aspects of a business. In sales, it enables you to properly respond to inquiries from prospects and customers or discuss a deal in more detail.
