@umbra21 - It's not jokes that annoys me so much as someone who leaves a message ten minutes long, particularly when you have to wait out the whole thing before you can leave your voicemail.
Keep it short and sweet so that the caller can quickly leave their message and move on with their day.

Voicemail is what gets heard each time a call is missed, whether it be a customer, employee, supplier or potential new cleaning customer. This is a great opportunity for you to market your cleaning business without being obtrusive or too salesy. Just provide whoever is on the other end of the line with all the information they could need and they’ll appreciate you for it.
You don't have to be a large national business to make an impression with your callers. On hold messages are ideal for SME businesses to sound just as professional.
“Hi, you’ve reached the desk of (your name). I’m currently out of the office on vacation and will return on (insert date). If you need immediate assistance, please call my assistant, (insert assistant name) at (insert assistant’s phone number). Otherwise, leave your name and number, and I’ll get back to you when I return.”
On another phone: Dial your own mobile number, press * or # (depending on your carrier) to bypass your greeting, then enter your voicemail password.
It makes sense to have an after-hours / weekend voicemail greeting for important teams at your business so that your clients feel confident that they will be taken care of. You may also suggest alternate resources like a help forum, knowledge base, or online chat to support customers while closed, if available.

With a wide variety of choices available, users are able to choose every aspect of the process—i.e. the provider (a business or a voice professional individually), the service, as well as the tools involved.
To receive text message notifications, select Notify me via text message when new voicemail messages are received.
Chances are that when someone takes the time to leave your business a voicemail, it is because it’s important that their message be communicated and left in the right hands. There’s nothing worse than calling a business only to hear that the voice mailbox is full or that the greeting is too quiet, too fast, or too confusing.
