With that said, we thought it would be a good idea to provide you with a few examples of voicemail greetings. As you read through these, keep in mind that the effectiveness of your voicemail greeting is one-quarter what you say, and three-quarters how you say it.
.
The above eight rules of engagement for voicemail greetings may sound easy enough, but they’ll require some practice to get just right. Let’s look at some examples to provide some context in how to apply the rules to various types of greetings and situations.
The greeting can also include a fixed system prompt that instructs the caller to leave a message after the tone or to press a key for further options. The default busy greeting plays a fixed system message that informs the caller that the user is on the phone followed by the prompt to leave a message.
To help a new contact understand you and your message on a voicemail greeting, your choice of words and tone takes on real and crucial significance.
As mentioned above, alerting callers that they won’t be getting an immediate call back is of upmost importance for an entity’s reputation and a caller’s satisfaction.
